    Hi all,

    I have recently setup a MacMini (with radeon HD9200 inside), connected to an HP Z24nq 2560x1440 via DVI.
    That monitor works fine with my Intel Mac Pro (display port), and boot fine on MacOSX on that MacMini.

    Unfortunately, as soon as I go into MorphOS, I get into a black screen right after the grey flash.
    I have to reboot and hold the CTRL key to force the 1024x768 mode to get past that black screen.

    Once I have booted in 1024x768, I can edit the default mode in Prefs/screens and pump it up to 720p, or even 1080p with no problem - the screen flicks to that new mode happily.
    But as soon as I save and reboot, screen goes black again - if not right away, a couple of reboots later - seems pretty random.

    As mentioned in other (old) posts, I deleted all the monitors in prefs/presets After a reboot the Hp24 monitor specs get picked up and it appears in presets/monitors as the only file there.
    But I still get the black screen after the odd reboot or switch on/off.

    Very frustrating! 1024x768 is just the only mode that seems to survive but it's plain ugly on my big screen.
    Any idea? Bad cable? Sensitive monitor? Could MorphOS try to boot in 1440p and run out of VRAM?
    Help!

    Cheers,
    JBB
