    Gateway LCD with my Powerbook

    I have a gateway FPD1500 LCD display that i want to run as a second monitor for my Apple Powerbook via DVI. When i hook it up, all i get is a black screen. I think i found out that the LCD is DVI-D and i assume that my powerbook is DVI-I. Are these two not compatible? Is there ANY way to get the two to work together?

      I believe you are correct, I have not heard of a way to use a DVI output on a LCD display, mainly only plasma. I tried doing this with my hitachi LCD DISPLAY and have been told not to from hitachi tech support. The best thing you can do is use the s-video out from the powerbook.
