This reminds me of the reason why I had to move to serial console, not
because of lack of
support but because the monitor I had at the time (brand new 19" sony)
didn't work with my
712. Or it does.. but the screen flickers sometimes with just a couple of
seconds appart, sometimes it can take a couple of minutes, but it just won't
stop. It does it with another cheap 15", but I now got a another monitor, a
17" Panasonic and the sti console work fine it, no blinking.
Does anyone know what could be the cause for the 19" sony not to function
correctly. It works fine with a PC, Mac and even an old Sun3.
