Ooooops! It's only 1600x1200!
Well it's connected. I installed the inf file in the dnld referred to above before removing the other monitor - Plug & Pray then detected the correct type on reboot which according to the front of the monitor is a 20GLsi. I currently only get 1280x1024 16bit, but the built in display adaptor is the on board Intel 82815 - 4 Mb DXvers1 apparently, so that may be the limiting factor - I do intend to get a plug in upgrade eventually - really want a twin head, although I may be able to keep the Intel working as a second card? Any suggestions - I think it may have AGP - haven't opened the case since I got it - MB is an Intel D815EFV. I don't want to spend a fortune on too hot a card.
The install.exe in the dnld referred to above only wanted to refer to a 20GLs (not the si), so I didn't run it - but it seems to be working OK. Now that it's running Mark - I will prowl some more.
I have a few 'shivers' from time to time, but that may be external interference getting in from the power line- the cord has an inbuilt balun. The ADI used to do that occasionally too. The screen acreage looks great, colour fine, but I intend to run some test SW later on. Much easier on the eyes. Now for that 36"... :-) May be running a little slower, but it's chewing more pixels!
I reset the fiddly bits in the control panel and pushed lots of little buttons to adjust the display - it's easier to adjust than the ADI.
Now the next worry is when I move to XP.... :-)
Thanks guys - I may owe some of you a beer next time I see you!
