That's already pretty high for a framebuffer, and now you're talking about charging extra for some header pins? A board that will drive any display is a great selling point, even for buyers that plan to use a multisync monitor. Jumper pins are an easy way to allow setting the mode without any special hardware. Header pins don't add much to the cost. Ship the board with no jumpers installed, which means assume a multisync monitor. Install one jumper to mean use the software programmed mode. Need an odd mode? See the docs and add jumpers. There may be a negative to this, but I don't see it. Maybe there is a better way, but I don't see that either. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
