Wow, what video card are you using? Is that the 8100 server?

Hey Dan, what cinema display are you using with your system 7 mac? I have been trying to use my 20" Cinema Display with my Blue & White G3 using OS 9.1 in the past and it "kind of" works, although it ALWAYS would lock up if I tried to do a resolution change from the desktop!!! Can you switch resolutions from the desktop reliably? I was using a Radeon Mac Edition (original PCI one). Sorry for the deviation from a System 7 question, but this is REALLY interesting to me as the Cinema Display is officially a "Mac OS X ONLY" display and it has driven me BONKERS trying to solve this problem. Wouldn't it be HILARIOUS if it was possible to use the display reliably with System 7.6, but NOT with 9.x!!!!!! Douglas

Does your Radeon have a DVI port to which you can directly connect your cinema display? If not, then thats probably why its not working.

Hello! Yes, the Radeon does have the dvi port to directly connect to the display. The funny thing is that if an application (i.e. game) changes the screen resolution by itself, then no problem, but if I tried to manually select a different screen resolution from the control panel, then lock up. I figure that the screen isn't being recognized properly by the os 9 control panel for some reason known only to Apple....that's why I was so suprised to see it working on a System 7 setup. Douglas P.S. What control panel and what version # are you using to switch your screen resolution in System 7?

Honestly I have no idea that isn't a current setup I have. That isn't even my display (it's my moms). That picture dates to last summer.

I got the Dell SE177FP flat panel monitor for my Quadra 650. The resolution that i'm running is 1152x870 @ 75hz. It works great, except the monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024 @ 60hz, so text and lines get a little blurred since I'm not running native. This monitor has a similar finish as the Apple Cinema Disply, so it matches the 23" I have.

I've got a Sony 15 inch flat panel hooked up to my Performa 6200cd with a vga adapter, don't know what resolution... I assume 1024x768, but the screen seems huge!

Hi Everyone, I'm a bit new to OS 7.6 and I was wondering if it were possible to use a widescreen resolution. My monitor is 1440x900, and I currently have to use 1024x768, and although the display is okay, some images and fonts are difficult to see properly. Just curious if anyone knows if I can get access to widescreen resolutions. I'm using a Power Mac 7500/100 with a Radeon 7000 and Dan's drivers. Thanks.

I haven't, for some reason, been able to repeat my previous setup. Having a video card with DVI may help. Also, I heard that a utility called Super Res might help but I haven't been able to find it.
