icyderguru Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) 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 steven Edited December 16, 2006 by icyderguru Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/36062-x1900xt-256mb-or-512mb-apple-cinema-display-30-inch/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

blase Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 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.
