I have been having problems connecting my MacBook Pro via DVI to my LG

I brought a 20" cinema the seller connected it to their G4 and it powered
up.  But when I got home and plugged it up to my G4 the screen stayed blank

I'm curious (and furious). I have a 9-month old 20" iMac. Up until
recently it's been a great machine. Great display, very fast. I use it
for work mostly and it took me a while (like until recently) to get it
set up the way I want it. About two weeks (it'll be 2 weeks this ...

For about the past two weeks, it's been like pulling teeth getting on
line with my Linksys modem, router, and 8-port switch. For years, I
