18:49.27JeffM2501how did your display work out?
18:50.49JeffM2501I'm sick of his sit
18:50.52JeffM2501shit even :)
18:51.43orchidwell, still at 1600x1200, ive gotten a much better card now, a leadtech WinFast A400 TDH
18:51.57orchidyeah I'm not in the mood to deal with him
18:52.15JeffM2501there should be no reason to "deal" with him
18:52.22orchidbut I cant get X working at 1920x1200
18:52.27JeffM2501hmmm aribeth did
18:52.56orchidyeah so there is hope
18:53.04orchidand she has the same card almost
18:53.21orchidshe has 6600 this is 6800 I think
18:54.17orchidhttp://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/96509133/m/950007922731/r/547007732731#547007732731
18:54.23orchidthis is worrying though
18:54.37JeffM2501they should be allmost the exact same chipset
18:54.48orchidthe guy says you cant do more than 1600x1200 unless you have dual dvi
18:55.01JeffM2501I've never ever heard that
18:55.12orchidok, maybe hes wrong, I dunno
18:55.40JeffM2501dell would not sell a display that needed a special card
18:55.49orchidok
18:56.04JeffM2501you 2 running the same X?
18:56.09orchidno
18:56.16JeffM2501she newwer?
18:56.16orchidshes on gentoo wih xorg
18:56.24JeffM2501hmm
18:56.40orchidI'm using XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1
18:56.55JeffM2501dell's support site have any info?
18:57.04JeffM2501don't they offer redhat as an option?
18:57.14orchidI havent looked, I assumed they wouldnt have linux
18:57.21orchidnope not anymore
18:57.30JeffM2501IIRC they offer it on there servers
18:57.37orchidoh maybe
18:57.56JeffM2501it was an option when I ordered the new hardware for a server here
18:59.59JeffM2501they have a number of linux howtoos
19:00.03JeffM2501including debian
19:00.06orchidhmm
19:00.17JeffM2501in the tips and hints
19:00.29JeffM2501slap in the service tag on that sucker and see what info they got :)
19:01.10orchidah ok
19:01.24orchidI wonder what my service tag number is
19:01.29orchidits a sticker?
19:01.32JeffM2501yeah
19:01.40JeffM2501somehwere near the dell logo sticker
19:06.56orchidhmm, no number with "service tag" on it
19:10.23JeffM2501maybe they only put those on systems
19:14.09JeffM2501is there a newer X for debian?
19:24.18orchidnah, xorg will go into Sid but not untill they release sarge
19:24.23orchidso, never :)
19:24.31JeffM2501heh
19:24.40JeffM2501there has to be a way to do it
19:24.53JeffM2501I think it's that X dosn't know the display can do higher
19:27.49orchidyeah that seems to be the reason
19:28.13orchid<PROTECTED>
