Yes, but I wasn't getting into refresh rates. The fact remains that the GPX
can't do anything other than 1024x864, which isn't well supported by
monitors.
Peace... Sridhar
Actually CRT monitors rarely care about resolution, only horizontal and
vertical frequencies. AFAICR GPX and the mono VR262 ends up being something
like 48 KHz horizontal (which is standard) and ~55 Hz vertical, which gives me
a headache but should be in range for any decent Multisync monitor.
For GPX and SPX, you do need a monitor that can do Sync On Green (SOG), For
example the Sony 400PS on my desk works fine with GPX output (got a VS2000
connected ATM)

BTW, if
it's a GPX it's limited to 1024x864, and if it's an SPX, it can do
1280x1024, which your multi-sync monitor should be capable of. I might be
remembering incorrectly, and if I am, someone please correct me.
SPX will do 1024x1280 I think at 66Hz and maybe 72 Hz with a crystal
change.
