New to this forum. Greetings all. Signed up because I came across this thread from a Google search.
I, too, Vector, have the same issue.
I'm running an AGP G4 400 with 10.3.4. Attached is a 17" LCD Apple Studio Display, connected to an ATI Rage 128 Pro Video Card (OEM) via an Apple ADC to DVI adapter.
My problem, along with having no Brightness Slider in the Display Pane (no 'Detect Displays' button either), is that I also cannot run any peripherals through the LCD's USB hub, and the buttons on the front of the LCD do not power up the machine, prompt the Display Pane in Sys Prefs, or bring up the Restart/Sleep/Cancel/Shutdown menu.
The LCD is not the problem. It was acquired through a friend who has offered much help. The Adapter is not the issue. The ADC to DVI adapter was bought second-hand, so I bought another ADC to DVI adapter to verify that it was not the culprit. The friend that provided me with the LCD did not pass on the Install Software, because has said that 10.3.4 should have all the drivers native. This has been confirmed via research.
I'm guessing my issue, maybe yours, is the video card. An Apple Rep at CompUSA (bad place for advice, I know) at first suggested the monitor was at fault. Not a chance, as my friend would not sell me a lemon. His second guess was the video card.
The aforementioned friend is now providing me with the copies of the Install Software for the LCD. Yet, I hesitate to do anything, as he has said that Apple no longer sells the original LCDs with Installers - that 10.3 has all of this native. Real plug-and-play. Friend says I run the risk of really messing things up if I go dropping old drivers in the pot.
I'm all for popping a new video card in this machine (a decent investment) if I can be sure that this is not a software issue. The LCD is awesome, if a bit bright... I have created a display profile with an adjusted Gamma that makes it easier on the eyes. I just don't want to sink my OS so I can have full functionality of my display.
Any help from the community would be greatly appreciated!
