Re: [OT] XP PnP monitor woes

["kinchyuk" <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Quick update.. after testing it on another XP PC (and therefore a
third graphics card) it's still not working.. a quick phone call to
tech support in India and they reliably inform me it's not
compatible with PCI-X or AGP video cards, nor can it do higher than
640x480.

Hmm what's that smell.. anyway it's going back for a refund.
