i didnt see what machine you are using but guessing by the fact you
tried a Color Plus 14" i would say you are probly using a resolution
adaptor... just remember not all resolution adaptors are created
equal... usually the 4 switch variety dont work on as many monitors as
10 switch, or ones with a rotary dial and 4-6 switches... i have one
here with 4 switches that i cant get two monitors to work for me with,
but with my 10switch or my rotary/6 switch they work fine...

as for the rasterops, it is possible a similar thing happened if it
didnt have a mac specific cable with resolution pins set... (and just
cause it has a DB-15 doesnt mean it is mac specific...)

sloopy.
