Mac OS X 10.0: Setup Assistant and AppleVision Display 640- by 480-Pixel Resolution
The welcome and registration screens may not be entirely visible after installing Mac OS X 10.0 when using an AppleVision 1710 Display.
Products Affected
Mac OS X 10.0
Symptom
After installing Mac OS X 10.0 on a computer that is connected to an AppleVision 1710 or 1710AV display, some areas of the welcome and registration screens may not be visible.
Solution
The welcome and registration screens function in 800- by 600-pixel or larger resolution. The affected displays temporarily use a 640- by 480-pixel resolution after installing Mac OS X 10.0.
If your computer has a built-in ADB port, verify that the ADB cable from the AppleVision 1710 or 1710AV Display is properly connected. Power Macintosh computers made earlier than the Power Mac G4 have built-in ADB ports.
If your computer does not have a built-in ADB port, you may try to complete the Setup Assistant in the lower resolution and then correct any errors in the System Preferences application. Alternatively, you may shut down the computer and temporarily use a different monitor.
Note: Aside from this issue, the affected displays work with Mac OS X 10.0 and will offer other resolutions after bypassing the setup assistant.
