The other day I tried an experiment. I took a 15" SPARCclassic monitor (machine hasn't been set up yet because we're waiting on software) and hooked it up to a 4/330. It worked fine and displayed a resolution of 1152x900. This got me wondering. What kind of frame buffer does the Classic use? Is it a cgtwo or cgthree? Can it be fooled into believing that a 15" monitor is really a 16" monitor? Just wondering if there is a way to sacrifice pixel size in exchange for real estate. Thanks, Joe Habermann MSI Technical Support, University of Minnesota
