G4 Won't Shut Down or Sleep with my Viewsonic LCD

[jluban]

Hi supergeeks. I have a Dual Proc. G4 about 3 mo. old (OSX 10.2.3) and just attached a new Viewsonic 175B flat screen monitor at its preferred 85 Mhz. Works great. Only thing is, my machine won't shut down anymore. I turn it off or put it to sleep, it revs down (however you say it), and then, boom, it's like I just woke it up (after I try to put it to sleep) or it immediately reboots (if I go to Shut Down). Other monitors don't do this. Any ideas for me with my "great" new monitor? I talked to Apple to figure out it was the monitor that was the problem, and we did the zapping of the PRAM or whatever.

Did you also go to the Display control panel and set the proper display?

Yeah, it's correct. I just found out that Viewsonic is aware of this problem and they are now sending me some adapter to install between the Mac and the screen.

Thanks for your quick response!
