Do I need to do anything special to use the DVI port? I've tried three different cards, all on the same monitor, with the same DVI cable, and no matter what, if I boot up with the DVI cable hooked up, and the vga not hooked up, I get no signal, even though the pc is obviously booting up and starting the OS. (win xp) And once in Windos, I cannot get it to switch to the DVI input.
My monitor has both a VGA and DVI port, so I can use it without DVI, but wouldn't DVI be better? Could the cable be the issue, maybe? If so I might have another here somewhere, just have to find it, and if not, I can get one at a local thrift store, if they still have it, last I saw it there was Friday.
On my monitor, the on-screen menu gives you the option to switch from analog to digital input, but when I do that it goes blank for a short time, but then goes back to analog afterwards.
Any ideas?
