ASUS monitor not working to Mac
Hey, all! I've got a new ASUS VS238H-P monitor for my Mac OSX 10.6 13' Macbook Pro. I hooked the HDMI to my Mac and the monitor turns on (blue light), has its 'ASUS' screen flash, then it goes to a warning, 'VGA No Signal.' My Mac blues out appropriately and seems to act like it recognizes the monitor when I make display arrangement changes. Yet the ASUS remains blacked out, power light on standby orange. Oddly, even its 'Menu' button doesn't bring up a menu.
What could be wrong? My Mac is about 1.5-2 years old. I though maybe it's a driver issue. What drivers would you suggest? Or it could be a cable thing, like my Mac doesn't like the non-proprietary cables I used. Here are the brands, btw: one 5-ft HDMI male-to-male cable by ProHT, and one Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter by PNY. Both cables brand-new.
Any and all help is appreciated!

I've been thinking of buying a Mac notebook for awhile since I only have a Mac mini desktop. However, I could never justify the purchase since I have too many computers (PC desktop, PC notebook, PC netbook) already. Since I don't use my netbook anymore, I Googled 'Mac OS X + netbook' and saw lots of success stories with my exact model, Asus 1000HE. I had already upgraded to 2GB of RAM so it should work.AC1900 Dual band whole home mesh wifi system for large and multi-story homes, supports flexible SSID setting, wired inter-router connections, AiProtection network security powered by Trend Micro and Adaptive QoS. Asus is a manufacturer (brand) while Windows and Mac are operating systems. Only Apple Macintosh legally makes and sells computers and laptops with the Mac (short for Macintosh) operating system. Shop for Mac OS All Laptops at Best Buy. Find low everyday prices and buy online for delivery or in-store pick-up.
I have the entire week off from work so this is my vacation project. Wish me luck!

Dang it. First problem already... there's a big scratch on my Snow Leopard install DVD. I was having problems mounting the disc too. I guess I'll try again; otherwise I'll have to borrow/find another DVD.
Part 1 success!
I was unable to use my expensive and legit Snow Leopard install disc so I had to download the dmg file (from a torrent found on Pirate Bay!) and restore it to a 16GB USB flash drive (sticking out on the right). Lots of other steps left to go. :(Mac Os Notebook Asus
It seems like I'm three years late to the party. All the guides on how to install Snow Leopard on an 1000HE are from 2009, and links to KEXTs (drivers) are invalid. Now I'm debating whether I should make a boot only USB/SD, or actually install Mac OS on the notebook HDD.I was mainly worried about wiping out the F9 recovery partition on the netbook HDD. All the SL install instructions end up re-partitioning the HDD which wipes out the recovery partition. I did find the original recovery DVD and verified that I can boot from it using an external DVD drive so I think I'm going to wipe the netbook and do a real OS install.
@Anonymous - Thanks for the tip. I went to osx86.net but could not find a full install image for the 1000HE but there are a lot of files. I keep looking later.
