Ramdac "Bt485"
Dacspeed 110
Option "dac_8_bit"

Clockchip "icd2061a"

My monitor is a ViewSonic 17G, and I use the following monitor section:

I manually switch the file by editing to get 16 bit truecolor (the
commented out lines). The setup I am using works extremely nicely.
Overall, I'd take this P90 PCI machine over a Sparc 20 any day.
