[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] Big Color Displays & Adapters query

bunda@cs.utexas.edu (John Bunda) (09/14/89)

I have a Silicon Graphics logo'd Hitachi 19" color display (model cm2073a
for what it's worth) that I would like to connect to my RT.

Here is what I know: the card from Matrox should drive the display
no problem, but I'm not sure about Xwindows support for this card
under Mach (or AOS 4.3), though I understand it works with AIX.

The IBM Megapel adapter won't use the whole screen, and I'm told
that it multiplexes the sync with the green signal (true?).  
The monitor has separate sync inputs, and if that is required I'm guessing
I could build an external splitter if I had a megapel adapter?

Any advice would be appreciated!

John
