- They do. The hard part is getting the correct DMQS files to describe your
- monitor. There are various versions of the DMQS files, ranging from the
- set shipped with the board, to the more recent one in the service pack, to
- the most recent set in the beta version of the XGA-2 diskette (which your
- service rep may be able to get you). There are some newer ones on that
- disk that are very interesting. And if you get really daring, have a
- muscular board, are willing to take risks, and hack your own DMQS file you
- can get higher resolutions than we officially support :-)
