Mac Mini DVI 顯示的毛病

MacMini 的 display 怪現象，用 DVI 接頭連上 LCD display，開機的時候正常顯示，但打完帳號密碼以後，螢幕就出現 out-of-range 的錯誤訊息，無法顯示。但改用 VGA 顯示，則又正常。看來是 DVI 部分出了問題，上網找了一些同樣症狀的文章。

看來主要是 MacMini 顯示系統的問題，不是新買的 LG 22'' LCD 的問題。

例如用 OSXVNC, 我也裝了。但改了一堆顯示模式，我的 LCD panel 仍無動於衷。
用 Shift 鍵壓著開機，好像也沒用。開機會恢復成 640x480，可以執行 login 畫面，但 login 後還是偵測錯誤。

If you have more than one machine and they're networked, you can fix this by using a remote control program such as Timbuktu or (my choice) OSXvnc. The nice thing about OSXvnc is that it can be started from the command line. So when I blacked my monitor (by selecting a too high refresh rate, which instantly took effect permanently - argh!), I did the following: SSH'd in from my iBook and launched OSXvnc from the command line (OSXvnc.app -rfbport portnumber). Then I quit the SSH session and launched my VNC client and connected to the now remotely-controllable dead screen Mac. The last step is too open the Displays panel, select a valid refresh rate, and watch the screen come back to life on the Mac. Saves a reboot and keeps that all important "uptime" stat going ;-). -rob.

If you hold the shift key down at startup, OS X will reset the monitor configuration to a default value. I've added this tip to the main body of this hint, along with the reference to the MacNN forum where it was first discussed. Adding this comment just to move the hint to the top of the "What's New?" box. :-)

I ran into the "out ot scan range" problem on my new G4 733 which is hooked up to my old Apple 20" monitor. It took me three hours of researching on the net and trying all sorts of things until I found the trick about deleting the com.apple.windowserver.plist trick. The "boot with shift key down" solution seems the most elegant solution, but here are two other things I discovered that may help in other scenarios:

1. you can hold dowm command-S on startup to get into console mode before the screen resolution settings are applied.

2. of all the CDs that came with my G4, only the OS 9 Install CD allowed me to get to the desktop where I was able to move the com.apple.windowserver.plist file to another location.

besides

/Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist

I also needed to trash

/Users/[yourusername]/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
com.apple.windowserver.biguglynumber.plist

then it worked fine.
Otherwise the resolution changed back to the invalid just before the
finder finished loading...maybe because of Jaguar, or because I had
auto-logon enabled.

當然，以上的解決方法都是自己設定錯誤的回覆方法，但我遇到的情形是
mac mini 無法正確偵測螢幕，導致解析度頻率等設定錯誤。

看來還是暫時用 DVI-VGA adaptor 擋一下。
