English Amiga Board - View Single Post - What graphics cards work with X11R5 in Amiga Unix?

After performing the bus fix to my Merlin, it now works in X. I had to do some mode line timing adjustments to display nicely with my LCD monitor, but it works as well as my Piccolo.

So here's the info we have thus far:

Under X11R5 installations with SVGA driver:

Personal experience:
Ingenieur Helfrich Piccolo at 1152x900 60 Hz x 256 colors
Xpert Merlin at 1152x900 60 Hz x 256 colors
I could push the cards to higher resolutions, but those were interlaced and were hard to read on my LCD. Don't know if it's possible to push the cards harder at higher resolutions progressive scan.

From FsUAE and others experience
Picasso II works.
Not sure about resolutions.

and solely from within FsUAE
Picasso II+ works
Not sure about resolutions.

From Commodore Literature / Others Experience
We know the Commodore A2410 card works in X11R4, but don't know about X11R5.

Anyone else have anything to add?
