You don't say which monitor you're using...I assume you are using the Megapel adapter with the IBM 5081 display rather than the 5154 display. The Megapel adapter supports a 1024x1024 display field. The 5081 monitor has square pixels, and is wider than it is tall. So there is some unused glass surface on the 5081 display. There is a card from another vendor, the matrox PG-1281, which can be used in the RT as a replacement for the Megapel card. This card supports 1280x1024. There is an RPQ (non-standard hardware upgrade) that allows the 5081 display to run in 1280x1024 mode, and a PRPQ (non-standard programming support) that allows AIX/RT to drive all of the above. Talk to your IBM marketing folks for details. I am not an official spokesman, nothing I say is correct. :-) Sam Drake / IBM Almaden Research Center
