hello everybody,

 

i plan to sell my x1600 pro 512mb powercolor and plan to get a x1900 xt with 256mb ram (or 512mb ram if it is no problem at all).

 

However after the 7900 GTO 512MB debacle i wanna be sure.

 

Do any of you you maybe know if the following would work with the x1900 xt?

 

-A i plan to buy a 30 inch apple cinema display, so single link dual dvi would be necessarily

-B does dual display (ext. desktop) work?

-C does the tv out work?

-D does sleep work? (right now it does with my x1600 pro)

-E does dual dual link work ? (2x30inch apple cinema display)

-F does it matter if i get a 256MB x1900xt or a 512MB x1900xt?

-G does rotate/qeci/Q2Dextreme work?

-H does display brightness settings slider work?

 

 

if the x1900xt isnt the right card for my needs please go ahead and tell me a more suitable card

 

it would be very nice if any of you could answer my questions, because this time i dont wonna make pricy mistakes again

 

thanks in advance

I have the 1900XT with the HP L3065 30" display (similar to the apple). I can only get it to work when used with a second vga monitor. Basically the HP requires a dual link connection to display anything, and the dual link support doesn't kick in till the kext loads. I believe there's a problem with the driver (I'm using the X1900 jcool installer for 10.5.1) because if I boot with only the HP and no vga, the computer boots but the video never kicks in.

 

Update: switched to EFI graphics string, still doesn't work without having a second display.
