Here is what I use with this monitor: 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV31 [GeForce FX 5600XT] (rev a1) but the nvidia driver refuses to drive it at full speed. I have to use an older driver (1.0-7174) which does not limit the bandwidth, with this modeline: Modeline "1920x1200" 161.75 1920 2020 2052 2184 1200 1202 1208 1235 -hsync -vsync While this is a great monitor, it is a bit too bright for me and does not have deep enough black. But the price is right. -- Eyal Lebedinsky ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://samba.org/eyal/> attach .zip as .dat _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
