The resolution is actually 1280x1024, and is 8 bits deep. The graphics board drives the same monitor as the megapel, the 5081 display, but the monitor has to be tweaked. I believe IBM has X11 for this platform, and that the board can be used as the console display. IBM representatives for the RT should know about the adapter, it is the PG-1281. ...rob uunet!uvm-gen!matrox!rob (514) 685-2630 x677 attcan!cmtl01!matrox!rob
