Has anybody been successful connecting a Samsung SyncMaster 243T to
SunBlade 1000 running Solaris 9 with a Creator 3D Series 3 Graphics card
(X3670A)?

I'm not very experience with Sun workstations; I inherited the
workstation, and bought the 24" monitor (it works fabulously with my
Powerbook!) because I thought it was substantially the same as the Sun
24" monitor. I installed patch 112621-12, which the documentation said
was supposed to recognize the 1920x1200x60d, and includes the most
up-to-date ffbconfig.

When I hook it up, the only resolution that works is the 1152x900 at 66
Hz, and even that looks terrible, multiple with shadows off to the right.

Below is the ffbconfig for the configuration and the supported
resolution.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

#ffbconfig -prconf

Try a 'ffbconfig -res 1920x1200x60d now'
Just ignore any warnings.

Depending on what cable and adaptor you use results may differ a great deal.
