Re: 1680x1050 support under FreeBSD (was Re: amd64 NVIDIA support in FreeBSD 7)

I'm using a Radeon 9500 agp card with little issue, I'm using the radeon driver 
not the ati driver, and a DVI connector not the Analog VGA connector.  Using the 
Analog VGA connection prevented me from using 1680x1050 mode....

When things can't get any worse, they simplify themselves by getting a
whole lot worse then complicated. A complete and utter disaster is the 
simplest thing in the world; it's preventing one that's complex.
