If you have an odd-ball monitor that doesn't have DDC then you borrow a monitor or use your TV to run the setup program to setup the card to work with your odd-ball monitor.
sometimes you dont have a tv. in a data center for example. the idea is to do what the engineers did not do. embed the mode info in the monitor. you want to solder the chip in the board or use an external box. either way mode info should be in the monitor not the card. then every monitor manufacturer can use whatever mode they want and the card can handle it.

exactly. so we do the configuring that the engineers left out. you know what? we can all forget about none ddc monitors. maybe i can get in touch with a manufacturer and sell it myself. the point is the box can be a third party product. nobody is forcing it on this project. -- things i hate about my linux pc: 1. it takes more than a second to boot up 2. keeps asking about filenames and directories 3. does not remember what i was working on yesterday 4. does not remember all the changes i have ever made 5.cannot figure out necessary settings by itself _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
