Just a thought.. Would not 9bits per color be a middle ground that might be easier to fit? That would only need another 3(6?) pins. Also, would not these pins be less vulnerable to noise than the ones at the other far end, thus maybe routing would not need to be so strict? After all, the more bits you get, each one will have less and less actual impact on the image. So my logic is that the first bit toggles a color value of 0/128, so it is absolutely critical to get this one right. But the 9'th bit toggles 0/0.5 so some deviance probably would not be noticed unless it's more wrong than right. So, if there are still spare pins those could be connected even with bad routing and be a user-toggled option in the driver whether to use them or not. Thus when the cards are done we can see how good/bad they really are and choose an appropriate stance. Alternatively a 8/10/8 RGB signal is also a possibility since green really is the one color we are the most sensitive to. Just my 2 cents, I don't really care that much since 888 is good enough for my eyes. -HK _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
