I have a fixed frequency 20" HP monitor. I think it's an A2088A. Free to a good home. It does 1152x908. I got it working on a PC once. I have the cable. I think it needs sync-on-green. Useful URLs are http://historia.et.tudelft.nl/~marcj/fixed_freq/ and http://www.diku.dk/users

Veritas netbackup has a Linux client. It's a good backup system for Windows, HPUX and Solaris clients. I haven't managed to get the Linux client to work, although not much effort has been expended in this direction. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info
