Is there a setting that needs to be set to make a SuSE 10.3 system
use a DVI cable attached to the ATi RV25LV-C3 video card and the
monitor? The monitor is set to use either the cable or the DVI cable.
The cable works, but when I attach the DVI cable, the monitor states
there is no signal from either.
Thanks!

Perhaps a driver problem. check in xorg.conf which driver is active and
check if there is an update on

I used to use a DVI cable from my ATI X1350 to my Dell 19" LCD. However,
everytime a video start, a game started or something the screen would blank
on/off. After living with it for awhile, I attached a VGA cable and the
screen hasn't blanked yet. Dunno if the issue was the DVI cable, ATI
driver, monitor or combination of these three.
