Around 2 years ago I bought this Taxan LCD monitor, and asked the same question. I rang Taxan's tech. support line and was told that *any* LCD that is plug'n'Play should work with Linux. I also have an Iiyama running with Linux, but like Richard, I have to say that there are sometimes minor setup problems. The Iiyama, for instance, is detected as capable of 24-bit colour, but that causes problems. Set it to run at 16-bit and all the problems disappear. 16M colours is more than I can see, anyway ;-) Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
