Dell 2407 Monitor Problem
I just bought a dell 2407 and the DVI-D cable that came with it didn’t match the DVI port on my G5.
I’ve got it hooked up using the VGA to DVI adapter, but I’m wonderif there’s a way to connect using the actual DVI ports.
Does DVI-D require an adapter to plug into an apple DVI port?
Thanks for any help.

The stock DVI cable from my Dell did not work with my G5 Dual 2.5. I used a different DVI cable and all is good.

Steve –
Do you happen to know what kind of DVI cable you got to replace the one that came with the monitor?
Thanks.

What kind of graphics cards do you have and are you sure it’s not an Apple ADC connection?
If so you will need an ADC to DVI adapter.
All recent Apple cards and displays are finally standardized to DVI, thankfully, but older cards might have an ADC connection on them.

It’s DVI not ADC.

Are you sure? What card is it, please?
