Yes, I have. I am using a BenQ FP241W in 1080p mode via HDMI, using mode 170 (=42+128). For the first few days this was blurry and disappointing, but I eventually found the 1:1 pixel mapping option in the monitor setup and everything sharpened up. However, the trade off is that as the monitor is natively 1920x1200, I have black bars top and bottom. (The blurriness was a result of the monitor resampling the image to fill the screen.) The WUXGA mode 13 (1920x1200) completely failed (blank screen), even under ps3videomode. I am mostly running on KDE, but GNOME seems OK too. _______________________________________________ yellowdog-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-general HINT: to Google archives, try '<keywords> site:terrasoftsolutions.com'
