I've searched Google and nobody can give a working
example or answer. Here is my setup:
SGI 1600SW monitor SGI Multilink
Radeon 8500
Slackware 9.1
XFree 4.3
The monitor hooks to the multilink, and the
multilink connects to the Radeon 8500 via the DVI-I cable. I do not wish to use
the analog cable (A few people, apparently, were able to get this working using
the analog setup... since the radeon drivers dont recognize the DVI-I
input? But I'd rather this work correctly. This monitor was meant to
be used in a purely digital mode.)
Either way, I tried it with an XF86Config file I
found on google .. and the monitor switches on/off a few times then displays a
message saying to change the current mode to analog. When I try with the
analog setup, the monitor doesnt display a message -- but X doesn't show up
either (just sits there). I think it complains about not being able to find the
Radeon at PCI 0:0 or 0:1... when its AGP.
So is it possible to have X work with this monitor
+ video card at 1600x1024? Thats the goal. If anyone knows how to get this done,
I'm offering $25 on answers.google.com:
Thanks,
