ideo cards (ATI's are wonderful) can make any monitor do wonderful things...
I own a Trident 9685 providia with 4megs of ram, and since they've combined the SuSE Trident Xserver withe the SVGA Xserver, I can get 1024x768 with a 16 bit color depth on my 15" CTX 1562GM.
I have a cheap Trident 9680 or 85 with 1 Meg of ram, and I am interested in this add-on or combined deal that you mention, but I am not familiar with it. Could your explain it more. I have been thinking of upgrading to an ATI.
Now this above sounds like what I want, but I never heard of a RIVA128 and I am planing on getting a 17" Viewsonic, could you advise me on this board also? Many thanks for your effort.
The RIVA128 is a chip that is in some of the Diamond Cards and the Voodoo card I believe, and the Xserver for is really fast (it's a really fast card, I believe it's dac goes to 230). If I could afford it, I would buy that one with 8megs and TV ports. ATI has been on of the forerunners in releasing specs to make great Xservers for their cards. I believe they are the most supported out of the any brand (feature wise) with xfree86, but I believe the RIVA128 is the fastest, I could be wrong too, I don't know what is new. I believe that most of the new well known brand monitors have a really wide sync range for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies. I am happy with my Trident Providia, even though the drivers in Windows or xfree86 support all of it's features, I trust someday they will.
