Reducing the color depth to 16 allows the wimpy Rage XL (8 MiB) to do 1920x1080. So then I moved the old slow X terminal out of the way and moved the shiny new Dell ST2220T LCD into the prime spot in front of the keyboard drawer... ...and the cable doesn't reach. Two HD-15 to BNC cables back-to-back fixed that, but now it doesn't do the DCC/EDID stuff, so I had to get it to use a modeline to get 1920x1080. And of course it doesn't go into standby mode. sigh Still have some minor issues like finding a decent font for xterm, and putting a window at +0+0 hides a few pixels off-screen, and FreeBSD can't tell the difference between a Unix keyboard and a pee-cee keyboard, but it is usable. Thanks for the help!
