VGA Monitors
If you have a non-DDC-compliant VGA monitor connected to
your
RADEON 8500 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 8500 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 can use it to
select your monitor from a list of standard monitors.
If the VGA icon is dimmed, your computer has detected a DDC
compliant VGA monitor connected to your
RADEON 8500 MAC
EDITION
. You do not have to make a selection.
To Select a VGA Monitor
Select VGA Monitors from the ATI Displays control panel
Select 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.
