I just got my new quad G5. I'm very happy with it overall. But I have one annoying problem.
I have it connected to my ADC 21 inch Apple Cinema Display with an Apple DVI to ADC adaptor.
The problem: I can't start up the G5 by pressing the power button on the Cinema Display. The touch sensitive button activates, but the computer does not start up. I have to press the startup button on the front of the G5 for it to start up. This is not a major inconvenience. But if it is supposed to work, why doesn't it?
The same setup works fine when connected to my Titanium PB. Pressing the power button on the cinema display will either startup my PB or give me a dialogue asking if I want to shut down if the computer is running.
I have been on the phone with Apple Techinical Support for over an hour. They don't know.
The technician said that "maybe" the problem is that the model of Cinema Display I have is too old to power on the quad G5. This seems unlikely. After all, it works fine on my PowerBook.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
John
