At long last, I got a better card than the original that came with my QS 933, clearing the way for me to get a bigger screen.
But one thing that is puzzling is how to find out the native resolution of my screens without digging out the documentation. There seems no Mac software that tells this? I have a feeling that one of my screens is 1600 by 1080 but this is not quite one of the possibilities showing up from the new card. Close is 1600 by 1024, sure looks fine but it would be nice to be exactly right. I must say, the colours look so much better with this new card with its little fan! And being a true Mac card, I might even have a go at using the sleep function sometime. I run two monitors off this card: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro: Chipset Model: ATY,R350 Type: Display Bus: AGP Slot: SLOT-1 VRAM (Total): 128 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x4e48 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-A07525-130 Displays: DELL SP1908FP: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported VA2026w: Resolution: 1600 x 1024 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Anyone know if there is a technique to discover *native res* of the monitors. Do the monitors not supply the info somehow to the OS? Perhaps I might need to get software from the card manufacturer's website. I recall the twin turbo software from that old chestnut card on my 7300, able to deliver different resolutions... -- dorayme --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
