I'm a little confused as to how this happened but maybe someone here can help.
My original setup was my IIfx next to my mini, where I could use the same LCD monitor and it worked fine. I hadn't used it for a while, but it remained plugged in (the VGA had to be unplugged from the LCD while the Mini was in use but still plugged into the IIfx).
Eventually I moved it to another spot that we cleaned up so I could have space. I plugged it in and got a very washed out image. I have tried 2 different VGA cables, 2 different VGA adapters, 2 different LCD monitors, and even removed one of the 2 video cards. Both of the monitors work fine with a LC630 and a DuoDock II.
The specific video card in question now is a Supermac Thunder II.
It has this odd option of only changing the resolution by restarting and it seems it has a setting taylored to different monitors of the era. The only setting I could get that sorta worked was 512x384 but then the LCD complained that it could not display it...even though it did. Gamma adjustments were limited to 2 options and did not change it.
I have tried a PRAM reset as well to no avail.
So far I have not tried replacing the 2 PRAM batteries. They are a bit of work to get to and I have no 'new' spares, just used. I also have not tried moving the card to a different NUBUS slot.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
