Plug and socket on the video card work with a different monitor.
The DVI input stage on the monitor *does* work, if you trick the 
computer into thinking the DVI is active.

The hardware is under control of the sw.

FYI, I spend most of my time dx tech faults. Let me suggest that you 
do not attempt to "argue by authority" (i e, you should believe me 
because I'm an EE), but instead provide some useful suggestions.

So far, out of all the e-mails on this subject, I have not received 
one useful piece of information, nor has anyone acknowledged that 
there just might be something wrong with the sw.

As a consequence, I am unsubscribing from the list.
