X2gen monitor driver download

OK, with that out of the way, let me offer some information and advice. First off, don't waste any time looking for drivers. You won't find any for a Mac. The way a Mac gets the necessary driver for a monitor is directly from the monitor through a data channel embedded in the video cable. When you connect the two, the Mac reads the ROM and gets all the information it needs to configure the graphics card to drive the monitor.

Here's the rub; since Windows has for years relied on the user installing a driver via a download or via media supplied with the monitor, many monitor manufacturers have very poor implementations of EDID.

That could be what's happening here. There are ways to recover from such situations but you will have to jump through hoops to do it. If you can't get any kind of working screen from the Mac, say by booting in Safe Mode for instance, then the only way to recover from that type of situation is to set up the mini as a VNC server and then use a second computer on the same network running VNC client software.

In this way you will be able to see the mini's screen on the second computer and remotely change settings. Once you get that working, you will need a program like SwitchRes X on the mini to custom build a timing for the display. All of this is possible, but it's a lot of trouble unless you are extremely adroit with such things. In the end, you may be better off taking clintbradford's advice and getting a different monitor from a more recognized brand that supports the Mac. Jul 28, AM in response to BSteely In response to BSteely I would never trust a hardware company whose Web site's front page contained five exclamation marks I really just wanted that extra bit of performance.

I returned the cable and am now just using it with the VGA cable it came with. I'm coming from a tiny 15" CRT, so 19" widescreen is definitely an improvement over that, in any case, and at a significanly low price for a flatscreen monitor. User profile for user: AndyO AndyO. Jul 30, AM in response to multimoog In response to multimoog The difference between VGA and DVI depends somewhat on the monitor concerned, but typically DVI will give you a brighter, more uniform image that is both more crisp and with better contrast and color saturation.

Some will give more noticeable results than others, though unless you have DVI and VGA connected displays side by side and therefore have a direct means of comparison, the chances are you won't really know what potential gains you're missing.

There is also a difference in maximum resolution between the two, with DVI being able to go slight higher, but since resolution is dependent on screen size, that won't have any impact at all on your system, since your display isn't anywhere near large enough to hit that issue! If you're happy with the display quality in VGA mode, then I'd say at the price you paid, you have a good monitor!

Sign in to vote. We can use the monitor with another pc and it works fine. We can also use an old monitor with my desktop and it works.

When we put the x2gen monitor with my desktop the monitor will not come on. Is there some way I can download a fix from my laptop to a stick then put it in my desktop to fix it.
