Avelino:
Thanks for verifying that the monitor is supposed to do the right thing.
I looked around, and found another nearly identical system. Here is
what i learned:
Our system mr-jones.mit.edu ALWAYS complains that it can't get
verification from the monitor that the resolution will work.
I put a DIFFERENT CM751U monitor on the same system and got the same results.
I put a DIFFERENT cable between the monitor and the video board and got
the same results.
I went to a different Ultra-5 system with the same type of monitor and
had no problem.
THEORY: The Ultra-5 deployed as mr-jones.mit.edu has a DOA video board.
It draws bits just fine, but cannot talk properly to the monitor.
Thanks muchly for the help!
