By the looks of it I'll stop putting more time into this and try and obtain a different monitor :-)

Had you not noticed that it had Thunderbolt ports, too? :-)
They are bidirectional. You can attach it to a Macbook Pro via the built-in cable, then attach other Thunderbold peripherals, including daisychaining more Thunderbolt displays, to the monitor...
Or, you can attach the monitor to a computer via a Thunderbolt cable, and then use the other ports (Thunderbolt, Ethernet, USB, Firewire) from that computer. E.g. my Retina iMac doesn't have onboard Firewire, but I can use the port on the Thunderbolt display and it works fine.
So long as I'm using an add-on cable and not the built-in one.
The only thing is that they're quite expensive -- circa €30-€40.
Right, I did miss that it had other Thunderbolt ports :-) Thanks for the help. Robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
