Re: Philips Brilliance - isn't that bad



BLACK LIST ?!!!

oh come on,

True, Philips didn't issue "CustoMax" for a UNIX plattform but that 
doesn't mean that the "Brilliance 105" is not configureable under 
Linux. 

I have it myself and i had very little problem setting it up.
Once i did got a trapezoid picture but that was due to refresh rates.
In xf86setup under "Monitor" i chose "Extended Super Vga, 800x600 @ 
60Hz, 640x480 @ 72 Hz" and in "Modeselection" - 800x600 (which is 
reasonable with a 15" screen) but i started with the lowest color 
depth and once it worked i worked my way up.
Little fine tunning was needed and "xvidtune" was good enough for 
that.
BTW, my video adapter is ATi XPert@work, better check weather yours 
supports those refresh rates.

IMHO it's a great monitor: great picture, not bad speakers and VERY 
LOW radiation (Philips is one of the biggest fanatics as it comes to 
safty & health standards).

So, it's a little difficult to configure, you can say that on almost 
every aspect of Linux.

Black lists is something M$ do to dealers who sell competing 
products...
