Hmmm. I thought they could do 1080i in other non-free OSes, so I bet it's not a hardware limitation. I mean, they say they can do 2048x1526 (or more depending on the card) over vga. A linux driver issue is possiable, though (which might include firmware if that is loaded by the driver.)
I'd give it a try, but I don't yet have a device with a dvi connection. -Nate On Fri, 24 Dec 2004 01:05:07 -0800, Brad Templeton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Dec 23, 2004 at 07:13:17PM -0500, Jay R.
