:I'd bet it's done using DPMS. 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.
