I just bought a viewsonic 17' lcd for my 500 mhz powewrbook g5 and the thing will only run in 16bit colour at its native 1280 res. i drop the res to 1152x768 and its 32bit no worries.
anyone else found this ?
cheers im about the throw this lcd at a closed window.

jens.. youre hilarious.
its in the details designerror! ha!
about your monitor... youre restricted with the res.. .i think it works the same with all externals.. it has more to do with the G5 pbs resolution than your monitor i think..

I have a g4 powerbook 500, the graphics card is WEAK, that could be what is causing it, you could try getting a USB keyboard and mouse and run it Closed lid, and only use the external monitor, that may give it the extra power it needs. just a thought though

OK Whoops I would love a G5 haha.
I Have a G4 500, i know thw gfx card is week but this is weird.
on the ati site its says the ati rage mobility card can handle two UXGA (1600x1200)monitors independantly.
just wanted to see if anyone had a similar setup.
Cheers

I don't have electricity outside of this local library. How could I own a powerbook?
