Samsung 930B - DVI Connection

I cannot get a Samsung 930B LCD to connect via DVI to my Power Mac Dual 867 w/ ATI Radeon 9700 Pro video card. It works fine with the DVI to VGA adapter. I've tried 3 new cables. Is this possible? All the specs seem to line up.

I will be interested in what you find out. I just picked up a Samsung 730b, using it with the Apple supplied ADC to VGA adapter. I am contemplating a DVI cable. One thing I found on Samsungs website, is that the monitor uses a DVI-D input... do you have the right cable?

Update- I picked up a DVI-D Dual Link at the local PC store today, plugged it in and after a few seconds of booting up, it recognized the display.. what I have not figured out yet... what benefit have I gained in switching to DVI interface? Also, interstingly, now that I am using the DVI cable, the Samsung Magic Tune software will not work.

As far as your problem, do you have the display set to auto recognize input source?

Do you mean you had a Mac OsX version of Magic Tune?
I bought a samsung 770P minitor for an older G4 AGP, but onlu Win applications were on the CD.
Where can I find Magic Tune for MacOsX?
