I was using an nvidia ti4600 Gainward card to drive my 24" Samsung monitor at 1920x1200, using the nvidia binary drivers (I wanted dvi out and was running x 4.2.1), so it can be done. However, with those drivers, the card was always a bit unstable (despite being a high end card, and despite trying to disable AGP, use agpgart, and use nvidia's agp support ... nothing made it more stable). Once I put the second AMD CPU in the machine the card became so unstable it was unusable, so I removed it. I am sour on nvidia at the moment and am considering an ATI card instead. However, here are the modelines I used (use at your own risk, not responsible if it blows up your computer, your house, or half of your city, blah blah blah). It worked to drive my Samsung at 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz # 1920x1200 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 74.52 kHz; pclk: 193.16 MHz Modeline "1920x1200_60.00" 193.16 1920 2048 2256 2592 1200 1201 1204 1242 -H Sync +Vsync Hope this helps, Jean. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
