I can get a Hyundai monitor HMM-1900E very cheap, but I need some
information about it to decide if it is usable for me.
The monitor is a 19" monochrome (greyscale) monitor and comes with an
own ISA-bus graphics card (HGC-1280). The card is capable of a
1600x1280 resolution with interlace, 1280x1024 without interlace. It
is VGA-compatible (allegedly). The monitor has a 9-pin connector (as
apposed to the 15-pin VGA connector). The drivers for the card include
ones for MS-Windows, AutoCAD, and Ventura Publisher.
However, I want to use the monitor with XFree86 under FreeBSD. In
order to be usable, either
- the video card must be supported by XFree86 *or* be compatible
enough to some supported video card in high-resolution mode or
- the monitor must be VGA-compatible such that it can be used with a
high-resolution video card providing standard VGA signals. (With
the appropriate 9-pin to 15-pin adapter, of course.)
Can anyone confirm one of these two points?
Thanks in advance for your help.
