I have 2 2001FPs running DVI-connected 1600x1200 here...one on a nvidia
fx5200 and one on an off-brand ATI 9250. Relevant portion of xorg.conf
from this machine:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Dell 2001FP (Digital)"
HorizSync 31.0 - 80.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0
Gamma 1.05 1 1.1
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Device"
# Driver "nv"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVidia"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 5200FX (generic)"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DVI"
EndSection
As you can see from above, I can run either the nv or nvidia driver with
no problem. With the ATI card, I get colorful speckles across the top
third of the screen and a dead X server unless xorg.conf looks like
this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "ATI Radeon 9200PRO"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
Option "AGPSize" "64M"
Option "AGPMode" "2"
EndSection
Otherwise, my xorg.conf settings are as installed by Anaconda. My
Matrox card is too ancient to have a DVI connector so I can't help
there...but at least this demonstrates that your 2001FP can do 1600x1200
DVI with the right mojo on other video cards. Both FC3 and FC4T3 are
running on both 2001FP DVI-connected boxes.
HTH,
