At long last I've gotten duoview (dualhead) working with my savage IX! It should also work on MX and Supersavage chips, but I don't have the hardware to test. My current code is a bit of a hack, basically just 2 viewports into a big framebuffer. There are no safeguards in the code at the moment.

actually I believe the t30 has a full fledged mobility radeon 7500 on board. regardless, the issue seems to be that the max res supported by the DVI port is 1280x1024. running the port at 1200x1600 is beyond the specs (and not supported). I don't really see this as a problem. if you run at 1200

Re: IBM port replicator noise?

I suspect it was not designed to handle the bandwidth needed for 1600x1200. DVI may be the future, but the ports are limited by the transmitters driving them, just as CRT ports are limited by the RAMDAC. As 1600x1200 LCDs become more popular, I'm sure you'll see the capabilities of DVI ports incr

unfortunately, you have the two chips for which you are least likely to find documentation. the neomagic driver was written for XF 3.3 under a special agreement with neomagic. the driver was originally binary only, but eventually the source was released. Neomagic no longer makes graphics chips.

You can download the chips databooks right off their web site. although it might be hard finding a card (must chips chips are in latops). I've heard 3dlabs is also good about giving out docs. Matrox cards prior to the parhelia are also well supported and you can download the databooks from matrox
