Having the 1600sw myself, I think you're SOL: the #9 Revolution isn't, last time I checked, supported by XFree86-4.x. NOTE: IF YOU FIND OTHERWISE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'm currently stuck using the damn converter box sold by SGI for too much money, and a Matrox, and being that the Matrox wants to talk analog (apparently the DVI doesn't quite work right with the box) it sucks.
The 1600sw, in digital mode, is *the best* LCD panel I've ever seen. The 1600sw, in analog mode, just makes me want to cry. Lastly, since #9 went under before SGI ceased production of the 1600sw, I believe that there was an alternative card that supported the 1600sw's proprietary digital interface; the company (whose name I currently can't remember) is still in business, and it's entirely possible that it's supported in XF86 4.x. Again: PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you find any further information on this. Humbly yours, Ken "a-picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words-but-only-when-digital" D'Ambrosio > when trying to run startx.
