Got a second-hand G3 and want to connect it to a Gateway 17" EV700 monitor, but it ain't happening. I believe I need a Mac-compatible driver in order to fire it up. Any ideas?
Is this a blue & white G3 tower? Any monitor with a VGA or DVI connection should be detected automaticallythere's no such thing as a monitor "driver."
The standard settings for Plug and Play really deny you all of the options. Installing the monitor drivers allow you to use every resolution and refresh rate the monitor is capable of.
Refresh rate (especially on CRTs) is the main reason for installing the drivers as a Plug and Play will generally default to some ridiculously low amount, even if the monitor can handle 85+.
