  • 1440x900 within Linux on a G550?

    I've been doing quite a bit of research about this strange resolution and Matrox video cards and haven't been able to come up with much. I'm setting up a MythTV box for my girlfriend and am looking at picking up a G450/G550 to drive a widescreen Samsung monitor @ 1440x900.

    From what I've read, this is NOT a native resolution for the card, but it can be added with a windows utility. The problem is that this box won't be running windblows. Is this utility even necessary under linux, or if I threw in an old hard drive+windows, could I use the utility to add the resultion permanently? Thanks in advance!

    I use Colas XFree modeline generator to calculate the correct timings for resolutions. Just add the proper modeline(s) to your X11-configuration.
