I can tell you right now that you're probably wasting your time, except if the card is actually out of an Apollo, in which case there is (was) rudimentary support in one of the XFree86 servers for that card, unaccelerated. > I don't have any pinout specs, but might it be possible to pin it out > to be compatible with a hercules card? It will do 1024x768 with .31 dpi. Actually, the 19" Moniterm is a bit better than that; they used to be one of the screens you'd get with Sun3 systems, which ran them at 1152x860. An 8-year-old unit is going to be pretty near death though. Summary: you're better off taking it to the tip and throwing rocks at it 'till it explodes. Or selling it to someone else and trying again. 8) -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
