Before I am going to puchase the monitor ans graphics card on PC with freeBSD os. I would like to ask you some more questions. I have reviewed X386/XFree86 Video Timing documentation. It said that "there are some fundamental things your need to know about your display and adapter. These are: 1. your monitor's horizontal and vertical sync frequency options. 2. your video adapter's driving clock frequency, or "dot clock" 3. your monitor bandwidth. I would appreciate very much if you could tell me what specification on above parameters will make the better performance under XFree86. How can I make the best combination on buying a SVGA minitor and its video adapter? By the way, how can I get more information about higher-end card from #9 or ATI. Thank you so much, Xiaoyin Li System Administrator PSU Bookstore Tel: (503)226-2631 Fax: (503)725-3800
