Hello !
I would like to connect an ACER PD 520 Videoprojector (http://global.acer.com/products/projector/pd520.htm) to my powermac G5 dual 2GHZ with a Radeon 128 Pro graphic card.

I am using a DVI cable from the DVI port of the graphic card to a DVI to M1 adaptor. The M1 goes into the videoprojector.
The computer recognises the projector (I can choose different resolutions) but the projector don't receive any signal.

If I use a DVI to S-video adapter and a s-video cable to the projector, it works.
If I use a DVI to VGA cable and a VGA to M1 cable it doesn't work from my powermac G5. What is strange is that if I use the same VGA to M1 cable from my ibook (with mini-dvi to vga adaptor) it works very well.

So is there something wrong with my powermac G5 dvi port ?
Thanks for your help
