Haven't started a new topic in a while, but here it goes...
So today I was fiddling around with my Laptop and setting it up to output video to my TV. After toying with that I found some extra odds and ends to throw at my desktop nVidia configuration. While I was doing a little testing I came across something and I'm not entirely sure of what it is and if it is a problem or not. And mind you, I am running Linux on here, but I do have Windows XP installed for gaming if any output from Windows can help.
Anyway, in my Xorg logfile I found the following:
| Code: | (--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce 7800 GTX at PCI:3:0:0:
(--) NVIDIA(0): ViewSonic VX922 (DFP-0)
(--) NVIDIA(0): ViewSonic VX922 (DFP-1)
(--) NVIDIA(0): ViewSonic VX922 (DFP-0): 310.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
(--) NVIDIA(0): ViewSonic VX922 (DFP-0): Internal Dual Link TMDS
(--) NVIDIA(0): ViewSonic VX922 (DFP-1): 155.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
(--) NVIDIA(0): ViewSonic VX922 (DFP-1): Internal Single Link TMDS |
I don't know what TMDS exactly is or if the monitors (same model, but bought a year apart) having different "TMDS links" and maximum pixel clocks are a part of the LCD screens themselves, a difference in cables, or what. The only noticable difference visually is that the newer monitor has more of a red hue than the old one but that is to be expected since there's a few thousand hours of use on the old one (and yes, I did play with the color settings of the monitors).
So is this a normal thing or a bad thing or would more info be necessary? The monitors are both ViewSonic VX922 19" LCDs @ 1280x1024. I used the DVI cables provided by ViewSonic.
