G40 Monitors - Mono mode when system boots
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom :
When an IBM 6542-301 (G40) monitor is connected to a PS/2 system via 8514/a, XGA, XGA-2, or Image Adapter/A video controller, the system may intermittently boots in Monochrome video, without access to higher resolutions.
Fix :
Install a signal cable connector (dongle) on the monitor signal cable.
Additional information :
Some adapters, such as those referenced above, may disable sync during POST, which causes the G40 monitor to enter Power Management. This enables DDC even if it has been disabled from the front panel controls. Having DDC enabled causes video adapters that look for ID bit information to be confused about the monitor type attached, leading to the symptoms above. Installing the dongle will eliminate this conflict.
