Hi all.. Are there any experts on modelines here? I am currently in the process of testing out some "medical" LCD monitors. (Medical means they removed the color filters, and put a couple of zeros on the price!). I'm using the DVI output on a ATI FireGL X2 graphics board. For some reasons some vendors of these monitors have a habit of returning bogus EDID data. I get this from a Barco 3320 D: clock: 200.4 MHz Image Size: 424 x 318 mm h_active: 2048 h_sync: 2096 h_sync_end 2156 h_blank_end 2152 h_border: 0 v_active: 1536 v_sync: 1537 v_sync_end 1557 v_blanking: 1558 v_border: 0 This modeline is obviously with very reduced blanking intervals! What puzzled me the most though is the fact that the h_blank_end is lower than the h_sync_end, that cannot be legal? I have to ignore the EDID data to even get a signal on the monitor, but when using the maximum resultion, I get something that looks like static noise (short flashing white lines) over the entire screen area, and sometimes it looses sync altogether. I've tried with both an ATI 9800XT and a FireGL X1 with no difference. I've succesfully driven a 5MP (2560x2048) monitor, although not with 60Hz using the same board. I wonder whether the TDMS transmitter in the ATI boards are to blame, or it is the receiver in the Barco monitor. Does anybody have experience with other monitors of this resolution using the DVI output on an ATI board? Thanks in advance. -- Morten Sylvest Olsen System Developer Medical Insight A/S Hovedgaden 451 C DK-2640 Hedehusene, Denmark Phone: +45-46550444, Mobile: +45-51573092 E-mail: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
