In the first place, my fixed-frequency monitor didn't come from a dumpster.
It came with my Unix workstation, and it cost a fortune. It runs fine after
15 years, and produces a razor-sharp image, so I have no intention of giving it
up.
In the second place, it does run with a board from si87.com, and under
Linux, not MS. (Actually, one monitor is connected to the Unix machine, and
the backup monitor is on the Linux system.)
In the third place, embedded systems are part of the TRV10's target market.
Some of them use VGA-compatible desktop monitors, but not all of them by a long
shot. Maybe the stock OGC1 desktop graphics board doesn't need the ability to
power up in an arbitrary mode, but the TRV10 ASIC certainly needs the hooks to
do it, possibly with the help of external hardware. Then the question is with
how much hassle and how much lab equipment to get it checked out and
configured. But that's a discussion for later.
