What is the cheapest option for driving a 1920x1200x60 DVI-D display from a sparc system?
I've got an Ultra 80 and Ultra 60 but from the research I've done, the only option for them seems to be an XVR-1000 which is as expensive as an entirely new system!
XVR-100 should work but apparently isn't compatible with anything older than SB 150 or 2000.
Thanks
Solution:
XVR-100 X3769A/X3770A (32MB/64MB versions) will support 1920x1200x60 on the VGA port and the DVI-D port. The manual says it will not support it on the DVI-A port.
The DVI-D port appears as /dev/fbs/pfbXb. The VGA port appears as /dev/fbs/pfbXa.
I have 1920x1200x60 working on both the DVI-D and VGA ports. Put /dev/fbs/pfbX[ab] in /etc/dt/config/Xservers as appropriate. Configure the resolution and depth with fbconfig for the appropriate device.
This is on an Ultra60, which isn't officially supported by the XVR-100. So the OpenBoot has to remain on an older supported graphics card. I've got a Creator3D connected to a Dell 2405FPW VGA port and the XVR-100 DVI-D connected to the Dell DVI port allowing easy switching from the display.
The 2405FPW is a fantastic display - and cheap to boot!
