I don't think the Alpha is going to be an issue for you, just get whatever card is supposed to work with X at that resolution. i believe you may need to specify a modeline to get X @ 1920x1200 to work properly (its a low 43hz refresh rate on dvi or something?) i have a PCI Radeon 9100 in my lx164. presumably it would work fine if i had such a monitor. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
