There is indeed a HDMI connector besides the two DVI. A small one, |
| 12 |
probably a mini HDMI. The card is several years old and I have forgotten |
| 13 |
the specs. The documentation seems to be on a CD. In form of windows |
| 14 |
programs. Bah. |

The new monitor came with a HDMI cable. I will have to obtain a |
| 17 |
mini-HDMI to HDMI cable or an adapter to try. |

I have visited WineHQ and subscribed to a forum there, Wine Help. Of |

approval from a moderator. Takes time. |

In old times there was a news group with the name wine-user. It was |
| 27 |
abandoned years ago in favor of a forum. Grrr. |

If there is no improvement, then I would look into feeding a custom |

In the past, long ago, I have played a little with EDID, using the |
| 37 |
documentation of Nvidia and the Gentoo package read-edid. |
