Today, I bought a vga adapter for my unibody macbook and it is not working :S I hooked it on a 22inch Samsung 225MW screen and it the screen shows a message "check your cable (PC)"...
Does anyone have this issue too?

I had a similar problem as well but on my TV. I have a 42 inch Samsung plasma TV with a vga port. I use to get the "check your cable" message. Now, however, the TV doesn't even recognize that anything is plugged in. I talked with someone at Apple; they said it's a Samsung problem (which is odd because my brother's Toshiba laptop works just fine). What's also odd is that the unibody works perfectly with my HP monitor. I thought I heard that Apple was working on this but I guess not. I would expect more people to be complaining about this issue but between my old thread and this thread, there's little or no interest.
The "problem" with samsung's "implementation" of vga appears to "require" that the grounds (5) in the vga cable / connector need to be grounded / connected to the connector casing ground. If you get a cable (and or adapter) that has that "characteristic", then the samsung tv WILL recognize that you have a cable attached ( the PC mode will be highlighted instead of greyed) and you then can readily plug in any vga device you want and go merrily on your way.
