Installing New Video card- wierd stuff

by fotogra - 9/10/10 1:26 PM

I installed the ATI Radeon x1900 card (512MB) in my 2006 Mac Pro. Can't change resolution- it's at 1200x800 on my 30 in cinema monitor and there is a warning that my video cable needs to be plugged in. There is no video cable, the card just plugs in.

Any ideas? I did zap the pram.

Thanks

Ah, I called the company and they forgot to put the video cable with the card. there was no cable with the 256 card I replaced, so that's why I didn't know I should have received a cable.
I couldn't find a link to delete this posting.

I received the cable from the company and installed it and it all works fine. I can set the rez and I also reset the Pram again.

I happen to live near San Jose and there a dedicated MacPro store there.
Thanks for your interested
