Hello, I recently bought an old sparc station 2 with a 21 inch monitor (gdm 1962b), it's got a sony trinitron crt. The machine is very slow and the framebuffer in it supports only 8 bit colors, terrible waste of a good monitor. So I thought about buying an adaptor (it's got a 13W3 connector) and attaching the thing my somewhat-beefier PC. Now the problem is: because the GDM-1962 is a fixed-frequency monitor, the PC video card must give the minitor exactly the 'right' signal. It's a certain H&V refresh rate; someone told me for 1152x900 it would be 61,8 KHz H and 66 Hz V.
Can a nvidia riva tnt2 M64 support this? Other option would be to buy an ati radeon [7-8]500 if that is better (their xfree support seems quiet good). The monitor works on the sparc, configuring is no problem. I just want to know what video cards can do fixed-freq. monitors before I buy a 13W3->hd15 adaptor. Am I also right thinking I will only be able to use the monitor under X (no console or boot messages)?
