Dell 3008wfp Monitor Driver For Mac
Re: 3008WFP Displayport audio support The monitor audio is passive, meaning it only can wait for the PC to send the audio. I do not know anything about how to troubleshoot the mac audio. 2) Apple supplies drivers for their 30' ACD. Dell has Mac drivers available for the 3007WFP. Dell has Mac drivers available for the 3007WFP. I was unable to find them for the 3008WFP. Nov 26, 2009 I'm planning to buy a 30' LCD for my Mac Pro in the near future, and I've set my heart on Dell 3008WFP. Unfortunately, the darn thing is $500 more than Dell's other 30' LCD, the 3007WFP-HC ($1699 vs $1199).
Maybe Dell can shed some light on this. Environment: XFX Radeon 5870 video card Windows 7 x64 - clean install Catalyst 10.1 (latest) drivers - clean install When I connect the Dell 30' monitor to my new 5870 graphicscard via Displayport, the monitor is stuck at 640x480. No other resolutions are listed, and in fact that one itself is greyed out.
This is the first time anything has ever been connected to the displayport, so even if that port has the same habit of corrupting it's EDID info as the DVI ports do, I'd be surprised if that was the culprit. Tried an earlier version of the drivers, as well as another clean install of the OS.
Of note, the monitor gets detected as either 'non plug and play monitor' or as a 'Mobile PC monitor'. This happens even after installing the 3008 WFP drivers in windows. All resolution options are greyed out, and only 640x480 is even listed. DVI works fine, it's just the Displayport that seems to be borked. I'm using the cable that originally came with the monitor, if that helps. (700w PS, latest MOBO BOIS, 5870 BIOS appears to be latest version) Any assistance would be very much appreciated. Nah, nothing what so ever from Dell on this issue.
I suspect it's a corrputed EDID issue, and though I've dealt with having to reload the EDID info into the EEPROMS before. That was only with DVI ports. I don't know enough about Displayport to want to risk it. I gave up trying to fix the monitor, and just wrote a custom EDID-override monitor driver for my Windows 7 install.
But I've no idea how you'd do that on a mac. There is a lot of info on how to create custom monitor drivers for various flavours of linux however, so I'm certain you could do it with a little research. Assuming your using some version of OSX that is. It was irritating, but at least with the new monitor driver I'm back to getting the full range of resolutions on my 30' monitor. I just wish Dell support would be a little more forthcoming with assistance with these sorts of issues.
Hi, Thanks for the quick feedback: I was about to call them. I don't like the experience of talking with them over the phone. Last time I returned a monitor I specifically asekd them: 'will the replacement one gonna be NEW or REFURBISHED?' They told me it was gonna be new. And of course I got a refurbished monitor, the one that I now have problem with. Tell me, if I ask yet again for a replacement monitor, is there a chance the EDID for the Displayport connexion won't be broken? Otherwise, yes, there is a program called SwitchResX that could allow me to import EDID profil from an old mac to the new one.
My question is the following: are EDID profil connexion specific? Do I need a specific EDID profile for the Displayport? Thanks a lot! That's the downside of Dell - thier prices are usually the cheapest, but they do end up cutting corners on the support end of things. Not to say there aren't some amazing people working in their support teams. Just they're few and far between.
In any case, I just read the EDID info from my DVI-D ports and used that as the starting point for my custom monitor.inf file for use with the Displayport. I took a very quick look at the switchresx website and at first glance it looks like it could do the trick. It doesn't seem to actually try and touch the monitors EEPROMs, instead it looks like it overrides the monitors EDID info and uses it's own - which is just what you need. You'll laugh at this one. First of all, thank you for the tips: using SwitchResX I was able to export the EDID profile form another Mac I own. I used it to setup a custom profile that I'm now using to.

They tried to put the blame on the cable (I tried with two different cable) and the computer (I also tried with different computers and another Dell 2408WFP monitor). Finally they accepted to send me a replacement monitor. Creative sound blaster es1371 driver for mac.
