The cable came with the monitor.
The monitor is new.  So for now I
have to hope it is not defective.

With apologies, the statement about
another monitor was wrong - that was
using a VGA input as well.  So in fact
I've never the DVI output of the card
work.

Clearly there are some other things
to look at before I can reach any
conclusions.
