Michael, I am using a SGI-1600SW (1600 x 1024) and I have found that I must specify the HorizSync and VertRefresh values in the monitor setting of my xorg.conf to get it to work properly, even though all the docs say that it is supported using the GLINT R3 driver. Also, I am assuming you are using X 6.9 I have found a large number of problems when I tried using X 7.0 on Linux. Mark On Monday 02 April 2007 10:12 pm, Michael W.
