[samsc]

recommended is having vnc setup so that when you break your monitor display with incompatible settings you can go back...

that is just the cable -

you have to get the right dvi format for the intensity card to work- it needs to be 720p or 1080i.
thats what you need the software for- only configuringdvi output from computer to do this isnt trivial.

is reaching the road the beginning or the end of the journey?

dvi cables are one of the great mysteries of the universe.

learn to accept that the expensive gold dvi cable you just bought, does not work. doesnt give you any picture. does not like talking.
Maybe it has learnt that silence and stillness is better.
Maybe it is trying to teach us a lesson about things we cannot understand.

sometimes the darkness is in the hearts of others-
if i stand at the door, and i dont say the right password - maybe i wont get in - even if i have the right shaped key to open the door.
maybe there is al-chemy- metaphysics - things we cannot see feel or touch taste or hear, magic that flows through the ether.

you must look beyond the material - you must look beyond the simple physical existence of 'the cable' ...

you can eat whatever you can buy to put into your mouth - that does not mean you should.

iR we don't need to do nothing more that this :

edit :

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

with :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>Boot Graphics</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Make sure you run ARD and Remote access , or what I suggest is to make a nice clean new OSX installation in one of your zilion HD and try that .

I'm pretty sure it going to work .
