8500le and DVI output

[SpaceyWilly]

The DVI output on my Hercules 8500le just plain doesn't work. I've tried multiple monitors, two DVI->VGA adapters, both single- and dual-monitor configurations, and several driver versions, and it has never worked. Am I forgetting to do something?

here's what my settings look like

the second monitor just shows no signal, even when I set it to be the primary display or when I unplug my main monitor and boot with just the second monitor hooked up to the DVI jack.

Oh well...heh.

Are all the monitors you plugged into the DVI port using the DVI->Analog converter? If so that may be the problem. I heard that some DVI ports are not compatible with converters and some are. DVI-I vs DVI-D.

yeah, I've been keeping my eyes pealed for a digital monitor I could borrow to test out the port itself, but I have yet to come across one.

That would be the problem then most likely. The LEs didn't support DVI->VGA adapters, and the only way that you could get it to work would be to run it straight into a monitor with DVI in.
