I only have a 15" monitor hooked up to my 7200, so I don't know. I haven't
been able to get it cranked past 640x480, even though I added a meg of VRAM
so I'd be able to do 800x600 at 24-bit depth.
Can anyone else help him?

Hi again...
I've downloaded and configured XFree4 ... but when I run startx the system
starts XFree and then freezes.
I have to reboot with switching off.
I can't make logs of the output, because the filesystem doesn't sync before
switching off ...
