The 15" monitors on my DN2500 died ( two in one week- just after we had
converted them effectively to X terminals- Does Apollo have an X
detector, and zap the monitors when x is detected?) I can get ahold of
some ver cheap 19" from a 3500. They seem to work abfter I readjusted
the horizontal position and vertical size, but am I going to run into
trouble? How does the video driver on the 2500 detect that a high res
19" is attached (or does it?). Teh video is built into the motherboard,
and there are no obvious switches. I know the 2500 was sold with both 15
and 19" monitors. Surely it wasn't a seperate motherboard for each type.
Anyway am I liable to burn out the 19" by using them?
