VGA Monitors
If you have a non-DDC compliant VGA monitor connected to your RADEON™ MAC® EDITION, the VGA icon may be active. Some VGA monitors use a Display Data Channel (DDC). You do not have to do anything extra to select the supported resolutions. Your RADEON™ MAC® EDITION uses the DDC information to automatically provide the supported resolutions in the Monitors control panel and the Control Strip. If your VGA monitor doesn’t use DDC, the VGA Monitors icon is active, and you must use it to select your monitor from a list of standard monitors.
If the VGA icon is dimmed, your computer has detected an Apple-type monitor, or a DDC compliant VGA monitor connected to your RADEON™ MAC® EDITION. You do not have to make a selection.
To Select a VGA Monitor
1Select VGA Monitors from the ATI Displays control panel.
2Select your VGA model from the list of monitors in the left panel of the VGA Monitors dialog box.
A list of resolutions supported by your VGA monitor appears in the right panel of the VGA Monitors dialog box.
You cannot select the monitor resolution using the
VGA Monitors dialog box. You must use the standard Mac OS Monitors control panel.
