Very Computer

Hi !

I'm running Solaris 7 on a x86 config, and I picked up the video driver
for
my Matrox MGA G200 card on Sun's web site.
Fine.
I do know that I can go up to 1280x1024x16M because I have NT (yes I
know,
sorry but I have to... ;-)  running in dual boot on the same machine.

However, I'm stuck at 1024x768x256 because of my NEC MultiSync XV17
monitor,
which does not seem to be happy with "regular" mfreq .vda files.
And it is not easy to "translate" the monitor description in the NT
config
into something useful.

I crawled the web for a while looking for that info, but nowhere I found

anything about .vda files.
Is there anyone out there with some hints ? (Well, the actual .vda file
would be better, but hey, *something* would be a start...)

Thanks for your help,

                         Benjamin

Also: sometimes its a combination of the card+monitor, not just the
monitor.
After giving up on Xsun and my GDM17E10.. I changed graphics card, updated
to solaris 8.... and suddenly, I could use monitor definitions that I
previously thought incompatible with my monitor.
