I just got a 1600x1200x8 monitor and my
video card (mach64) and aux/vga do not
get together well :-(.

Which video card has been proved with 1600x1200x8
monitors?

Thanks

I bet you can still find the 9FX Motion 771.  I just bought mine around
March or so at CompUSA or some other generic place like that.  They're
really nice cards all in all...

i've put up a boddle on the web site. no guarantees.
remember to change the error file name in mkfile.

	Which video card has been proved with 1600x1200x8
	monitors?

The following PCI cards should be in the aux/vga you have, they all use the
IBM RGB524 RAMDAC
	STB Velocity 64 Video
	#9FX Motion 771
	Stealth 64 Video 3000
as is the VLB card
	#9GXE Level-16
Unfortunately, it's not likely any of these are made any more.

I recently did support for cards with the S3 ViRGE series chips. Anything with
a ViRGE/VX will do 1600x1200x8, such as the
	Diamond Stealth 3D 3000
	STB Velocity 3D
I have a Viewsonic P815 monitor which will do 1800x1440x8 and these cards should be
able to do that too, but there's some wraparound problem if you take them over 1600x1200
which I don't understand (unless the chips just don't allow it).

I suppose I could do a boddle for the current aux/vga, but I've no way to test
operation on Plan9 or many of the older cards at all.
