My experience is that connecting to the Mac display port through an adapter solves the problem without any change in the EPROM. In fact, this problem only arises in the ixMicro cards (for me), because the Apple cards do not have a VGA port. Reports are that if you install the Apple EPROM in the ixMicro version of the card, the VGA port still works just fine. Whether it is still susecptible to the lost resolution problem, I don't know. So, if you have the ixMicro version of hte card, with the ixMicro ROM, I'd suggest you try connecting through the Mac display port using an adapter. That may solve the lost resolution problem. You'll want an adapter that will let you set the resolution. There are some fixed resolution adapters. The adapters I use have a setting for 17" and 21" Multi-synch and on either of those settings most resolutions are available. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
