The Sun monitor, like most workstation monitors, is probably a fixed frequency monitor. There are companies on the web that sell video cards for PCs using fixed frequency monitors. I think you might be able to get a usable Linux setup even without one of these, though, because you can specify the exact frequencies for X and SVGATextMode to use. You'll need to buy or build an adaptor to connect the monitor to your machine. Plans are available on the web. This solution is not perfect, though, because your machine's normal text mode will not be the right frequency, so you won't be able to get in to your system BIOS or anything like that. So yes, you can probably use the Sun monitor with your Linux machine, but it will probably be more of a hassle than it's worth, unless it's a really really nice monitor. noah PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNRqUh4dCcpBjGWoFAQFPrwP9GnfzTcy1aPw1akRAE7k910bfk3le3qNS OUwzK+Sr+Ca6jWiSvwvs+mgteNRPOV0z0I8qbzgPgkgxMB36RddhFnCnF/EUXV3e 3E9mkc1O7vkfEv9L6hUfwETEPkLgrfx8aHhq9uPZ3pVwzFmmKPNSx/ahM29DiFpG D7PXfrLAAdc= =+Pdo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
