Very interesting. Some one else posted positive results about a newer Matrox card, so that's definitely worth looking into. I wish the FP's had digital ins, but I guess you get what you pay for. ;) OTOH, they are fairly nice 17" 1280x1024 panels. > Note, this was with my 15" 1024x768 monitor.

When I drive the same panels with my MacOSX box, I have very good results. The Radeon 8500 Mac has the same outputs as the 7500, and while I see very slight fuzzing artifacts on the DVI->VGA panel, it's barely noticeable, and the straight through VGA panel looks very clear. > That's a very good question. Add to it: a card that has DVI output(s). I'm not quite ready to ditch my new FP's for full digital output, but the prices /are/ dropping! :) Thanks, -Barry _______________________________________________ xfree86-list mailing list xfree86-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xfree86-list IRC: #xfree86 on irc.redhat.com
