That will not work. You, unfortunately, need the expensive USB powered/assisted adapter. (I have both. Had to buy the other to drive the high resolution.)

I bought Apple's dual link adapter (http://store.apple.com/au/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-adapter http://store.apple.com/au/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-...) . Was on special at a local store. It's not without problems, particularly awaking from sleep sometimes leading to "static" image blur requiring reconnection of the adapter.

  Odd, I bought the dual-link adapter from monoprice and I thought I got gypped when my wife's Yamakasi Catleap would wake from sleep that way. I guess mini-displayport is just flaky in general.

  When that happens, you can just put the display to sleep instead, then wake it a second later. That fixes the problem for me at least. The standard keyboard shortcut to put all displays to sleep is Shift-Control-Media Eject (⏏)
