Hi all,

I'm evaluating some options for deploying SunRays in one of our student
labs.  We'd really like to use 20" wide displays, but of course the SR2
doesn't support that native resolution (1680x1050).  I've got an older
SR1G from my vendor to play with display settings and can get the native
resolution just fine using this tidbit I found a couple of times in the
list archives:

utresdef -a -c "Dell 2007FPW" [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1680x1050 <<EOF
  htotal=2256
  hfp=104
  hsyncwidth=184
  vtotal=1087
  vfp=1
  vsyncwidth=3
  vcomposite=8
  pixclock=14714
  xres=1680
  yres=1050
  hz=60
EOF

One Sun tech I talked to also recommended trying 1600x1000 for use with
the SR2 as it is the same ratio, though not the native resolution.  So I
tried altering this definition by changing the xres and yres values
accordingly.  This seemed to work somewhat.  I got the lower resolution,
but instead of the image being stretched across the whole display, I get
a black band at the bottom and right edge.

Admittedly, I don't know what all these parameters are for.  I'm
guessing the lack of stretching is due to incorrect values for them.
How can I determine the correct values?  Is there an online reference
somewhere?  Can I leave some of them off and let the monitor and/or the
DTU automatically adjust?  The monitor is the same, I just need to know
how to set the lower resolution correctly.

Thanks.
Seth

PS - Any idea if the SR2 will ever support higher resolutions?  It seems
like the first-gen SunRays all provided higher resolution, so I'm not
sure why they would choose to cripple the latest-gen devices.
