Here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15118735 I read: Is it possible to have 1680*1050 displayed under Linux? Yeah, I have a nVidia 6600 GT and a Dell 2005FPW and it works perfectly. and here: http://forum.hardware.fr/hardwarefr/OSAlternatifs/MDK10-xorg-geforce-6600gt-sujet-44968-1.htm on a french list, I found this Section "Files" # Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together) # By default, Mandrake 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of # the X server to render fonts.

However, it looks to me that the 6600 GT does support 1680x1050. If you're not interrested in gaming, you might settle for a 6600 (not GT), they are slower & cheaper but should otherwise be compatible. Thierry -- The problem with the world is stupidity.
