Mods and Coords reading this....sorry for the duplicate post from the Coord. Forum

Hiya everyone...well most of you know of my burglary some weeks ago...well a pal who's been trying to get me on a Mac for years gave me his older G4 AGP model [MODEL M5 183] with everything but a monitor about a week ago...then yesterday I was given a FLATRON L 1950H flat screen monitor...set the whole thing up then up turned on the monitor, then the computer and it booted fine but when it came time for the Video Card to kick in it all went black [no desktop left] and I got a message from the monitor that my refresh rate was unsupported...does this mean the monitor is useless fro my mac....I have a pc/inte l[P3 of some sort] coming in the mail this week from a pal in Idaho so it's not wasted if it's useless on the mac but I really wanted to use the mac for my music as all the work I tried at my pal's place when he was using this G4 seemed way smoother than the work I've done on my pc/intel with identical software[melody assistant music writing software].

Any hints to make it work, or suggestions for a proper monitor will be gratefully received....

thanks very much up front for your help.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
