Sgi 02 Boots and makes chime but then goes to a black screen - dove212 - 03-27-2022
Hello Again,
I am back with some more annoying questions!
Firstly, I bought Nec JC-1581VMW MultiSync A500.
Here are some pictures: https://imgur.com/a/KgoQ4VH
it boots up but it seems like it just displays a black screen right after the maintenance screen. Monitor is on but nothing shows after a few minutes. IT works fine on my LCD montior, Everything is plugged in as well.

The A500+ manual says:
Quote:1280x1024 @ 55 to 66 HzThis is not enough to sync to the SGI default mode, 1280x1024 @ 72 Hz.
You could try "setmon -n 60hz"

That worked btw. I had to use a second monitor to set the refresh rate to a lower level.
much appreciated
