As the owner of a NVidia card, whose evil proprietary driver won't work
with rivafb, but would possibly work with vesafb (I see mixed messages
on usenet about this), I have the following question:
will the new edid-functionality that is currently in heavy development
allow linux (somewhere in the future) to set a vertical refresh frequency
with vesafb? I did notice that this Ti500 card has a VESA/VBE 3.0
compatible BIOS, so it should be possible.
Kind regards,
Jurriaan

Yes. Also long as your monitor supports EDID correctly. I tested it on my
laptop and the data was botched :-(

BTW, what about monitors having a dual input (vga and dvi). I think they
give back the same edid on both entries, yet clearly the dvi entry
cannot do scaling and support less monitor modes, at lest for my Sony
SDM-X52. BTW, get-edid failed to read the entries :
