reason i'm messing around with it ;)
and yes, the viewport settings make no difference

i didnt have a chance to test it ... the box was a server that was given to me 
thus no display and i didnt really feel like brute forcing the passwords to 
get to the installed HPUX ...
as for the monitor, it's a 19" trintron that i've done resolutions much 
greater than 1600x1200 with before so i know it's a pretty good monitor ... i 
dunno about the signals as you mentioned ... but i know the STI Console works 
just dandy :)

perhaps i'll try some random pci cards i got laying around (voodoo/ati) and 
see if i have any luck with them
