Default So, who has gotten a 191T to work in DVI...

Before the 9800 Pro I was using a 9600 Pro w/128Mb of memory just fine.

ATI is selling the 9800Pro w/256Mb of memory on their web site for $299 with
free shipping.

I used the DVI cable that came with the monitor and it's running at 1280

x
1024.

I downloaded the Samsung drivers and used them after XP was installed
successfully. Device Manger/Monitor lists the driver as a Samsung

version
1.0

Tonight I swapped out the Radeon 9600 Pro for a Radeon 9800 Pro w/256Mb

of
RAM and XP started just fine but with generic VGA drivers. Did a driver
update from Device Manager and everything is as it should be.


I have a 9600 SE. Mayber it's too castrated to do DVI properly...
9800 is a little outta my price range, but if it's the only way to get
this to work....

I've been using my 191T on a Radeon 9600 Pro's DVI connector for at

least
a
year and have not had any problems. I'm running the latest Catalyst
drivers,
version 4.7

I also use it's analog connector to view another system that has a

Radeon
9000 in it and that's been ok too.

Thanks for responding Jerry.

Did you install Samsung's monitor "driver" or did you
just let XP call it a "Plug n Play Monitor"?

Samsung tech support claims that's all I need to do...

Did you use the DVI cable that came with it or something else?

under XP?

What video card did you use?
ATI 9600 SE currently in use here.

I can't for the life of me get this to work,
it's one of the most hair-pulling hardware issues
I've ever run across.

POST and startup screens on DVI OK, goes blank
and 191 into power save at logon screen.

If I uninstall the ATI driver, and just use the
castrated "VGA Compatible", I can get 1024x768
on DVI but no higher. Using ATI drivers, only 640x480x16
in "Enable VGA mode" only.

I'm aware of the 191T having bogus EDID and ID'ing
itself as a 531T on the DVI connector. Surely there
must be a way around this issue.

Analog VGA OK at all resolutions.
