I also have good video news to report: I have a new RADEON 9000 and this week I got it to drive an SGI 1600SW flat panel using the DVI output through an SGI Multilink Adapter (droid). Full OpenGL/DRI and Xv support (aka 3D and video playback). The droid is apparently reporting the actual screen dimensions, because xdpyinfo shows the screen's actual size. The only difficult part was that I hadn't read the droid manual. The droid has a menu system, and one of the menu items is "Overlapped Modes". If you don't toggle that once in a while, the droid runs in 1280x1024 when you send a 1600x1024 video signal, or vice versa. Even with a digital input. (Makes me wonder what kind of protocol DVI is, if it doesn't provide adequate framing info.) I probably spent around ten hours on it -- I wasn't counting. (-: The RADEON 9000 is capable of driving two monitors. I'm thinking about hooking up a 17" CRT next to the flat panel. Someday. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
