Hey guys,

Just got back to University and I am connecting my new 22 inch to the macbook. The screen works as I've been using it on my family computer for a week. But I use the VGA to mini VGA connecter, its supposed to just turn on right? But its staying on the orange light as though nothing has connected to it? Is there an option in OSX to turn on the display? Nothing is coming up in the display prefs.

Cheers!

(I've also clicked the detect displays button, what could the problem be? Its the same VGA cable I used for the PC so I know it works. )

Ok I tried the monitor with VGA cable on a pc laptop and it was fine, so I'm guessing the VGA adapter thing is broken (I haven't taken good care of it!). I've ordered a new one now.
