This controller = accepts no mode lines but only the modes stored in the BIOS - and those won't work tith the = GDM-5410 monitor. - The monitor seems to support multiple frequencies, but many modes work = pretty poor. With another PC (my old one) and a trusty Matrox G200 card I managed to get = one mode (1280x1024@76 Hz) working. Open questions: - There are tools like get-edid+parse-edid, ddcprobe etc. which query a = monitor via DDC about his capabilities. Are there ports of such tools to Solaris/Sparc? I want to use the = settings on the SUN WS to get other nice mode lines, too. - Failing that, how can I get the "predefined" set of nice modes which = work for the SUN? (for example a 1600x1000 mode I'm using right now). Not THAT simple :-( - Wolfgang ------_=_NextPart_001_01C6F2C5.4E412020 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef; name="winmail.dat" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
