Hey,

Can anyone can help me?! I have dual G4 1.42 (mirrored drive doors) with aftermarket Radeon Pro 9800. I have a new Samsung SyncMaster 192N. I have all the latest drivers, updates, etc. installed. Certain games old and new won't play. It runs but won't show on monitor. I get a black screen. The monitor states "Video Mode Not Supported". I've tried to bring screen resolutions to 800x600 with low refresh rate with no prevail. I can't run Ghost Recon, Raven Shield, Command & Conquer Generals, etc. I can run Tiger Woods, Unreal Tournament 03, 04, Tiger Woods and few others. I don't understand the concept of DVI and VGA yet. Maybe you can enlighten me? What can I do to get all games running? Why is on games only I have this problem?

Please advise,
JohnRino

G4 1.42 Dual; Mac OS X (10.3.x); 512
