Hello,

thanx for the responses but there was no perfect hit. The incoming tips:

>a special version of the SX that could do what you want

Sorry, that isn't true. I know that SUN had announced this, but they =
can't
keep their promises. You could drive a 1600x1280 resolution with the
4 MB SX card with 8 Bit Colordepth. But if you try to do so with the
8 MB Sx and the resulting Colordepth of 24 Bit (exactly what I want ;-)
you will get a terrible scratched signal. I've tried it with two =
different
SX and I noticed one week later, that SUN has wiped out this =
1600x1280/24 Bit
announcement on the Web server.

>Sun ZX

Sorry, no 1600x1280

>Megatek Esprit and Tech-Source GXTRA

Sorry, no 24 Bit

>>> So, if you have any further idea, I would be glad to hear from you.

TIA, Dirk.
