It was a silly childish attempt at some kind of test. My displays are running in military aircraft all over the world. Not Mattell. There is no such thing as an analog-digital anything. If you are having trouble understanding that then go read the DVI spec again. It is simpy VGA piggybacked on a DVI connector. . It is NOT DVI. So blow it. test over.

He is looking from a different perspective:- You are looking the DVI connector spec for COMMERCIAL monitors (VESA) Which have analog and digital interface on same connector. He is ONLY thinking about what you would see as the DVI pins.

Once you have time for line, frame, active and resolution, you can work it out. e.g. dot clock is basically H pixels in H active time line time divided by dot clock gives pixel counts per line Non-active periods gives you relative position of active to whole line Similarly V timings give you total number of lines and position of active lines to vertical blanking and whole frame -- Paul Carpenter | paul(a)pcserviceselectronics.co.uk <http://www.pcserviceselectronics.co.uk/> PC Services <http://www.gnuh8.org.uk/> GNU H8 & mailing list info <http://www.badweb.org.uk/> For those web sites you hate |
