dvi cable with hp w2007 display

I recently purchased an hp w2007 monitor to use with the mac mini. The VGA cable works fine using the dvi to vga adapter on the mini. However, when I connect the dvi-d cable that came with the monitor I get a black screen and a "no input signal" message. I contacted hp and we tried several things, but no change. I did a safe start-up and still no success. HP sent me a new dvi-cable but stillno success. Any other suggestions?

mac mini, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

cathypt and amandamac, please notice the below link with some specific information that might help with your HP w2007. The solution linked to involves using a third-party program to build a custom timing that the HP will run from. cathypt, I notice you say you get a blank screen even when starting in Safe mode. That's going to be a problem because you need to get some kind of screen going over DVI for the solution to work.

I still have not found a workable solution. I downloaded the SwitchRes X but in safe mode I still get a "no input signal" on the monitor during startup. Not sure what else to try. Have you found something that works?

I am having the exact same problem! I am looking for a mac driver for this monitor. I am starting to think we might be out of luck.

have you found a solution yet?
