Yes, but can you get it to work at 1440x900 or similar resolutions (unless you don't have a widescreen LCD, anyway)? 1280x1024 is a VESA mode, and the system will let you do those if it doesn't otherwise recognize the hardware, but you can't use widescreen modes, or resolutions much higher than that. > Note that this mb/vc combo worked well at 2048x1546 on a Dell Monitor. > But when I plug in the Acer LCD, the monitor displays the message > "invalid input" until I change the driver spec to "VESA", and no > combination of parameters that I have yet tried makes the monitor work > at 1440x900. All of my circles are ellipses as a result. For the record, I don't believe the problem is FreeBSD or X.org. I've got both an Acer and a Samsung that I've attached to a couple of such systems: 6.2-STABLE/X.org-6.9.0 with a Radeon 9200 (which the radeon driver is listed as supporting, unlike the X550), and 7.0-RELEASE/X.org-7.2 running on vmware with the vmware driver. All those combinations work fine at the 1920x1200 max resolution of the monitors. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
