Has anybody else seen this - or can confirm that it works for them? I have two DVI monitors connected to the dual G550-DVI cable. Under W2K, everything looks good. But, in text mode, e.g. booting-up, I get a scrunched up screen that shows about the top half, very distorted. The same monitors look fine with an analog signal from a G450. Does this sound like a G550 or monitor problem? Any ideas on how to test text mode? Thanks. >> Stay informed about: G550-DVI text mode problems
