See if the XFree86 4.x code can tell you :anything about the monitor's capabilities. It's up? Very cool, they actually put the prerelease up 2 days ago! 47MB download, yummy! DGA is going to be sooooo cool. Unfortunately it looks like the DPMS stuff is still a bit primitive. Shoot. I'll check it out, though. The 3.3.3 I128 driver (that's the number 9 card) does not appear to support DPMS at all. SGI's site has a whitepaper on the flatpanel but it's a bit spare on control protocols. They do say something about an I2C bus but I dunno whether that is what DPMS uses or not. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
