I was wondering if anyone has tried to hook up the 20" cinema display using OS9.2.2? Apple says you need 10.2 to run this monitor.

yes it's true
the 20.1 inch does not run under OS9
it's not supported

it works and the monitor is running at native resolution.

However the brightness control will not work

Hey leonis how goes it????? I have the same thing as you. Mine works fine in OS9 but, no controls to work with. I am a little surprised at such a thing but, obviously we see which way Apple is pushing everything, eight??????

Looking at the 20 inch Formac as well as the Apple 20.1---does anyone know if the Formac would support 9?

It should work in OS9, I have not heard anything about it not working there. Have you?????

Nope. I've heard nothing. Just trying to get all my info before determining purchase.

It works. I tested the 20" under 9 today at the apple store. One of the employees told me that it wouldn't work with any resolution besides the native but it does. The only problem that I've read and forgot to check is the brightness control. It looked great in store though under 9 and 10. I would say the 20" is the perfect fit and has the nicest picture of the three.
