Hi

I am looking to get a TFT display, are there any issues I should be thinking

Well... I use the AG Neovo and IBM TFT screens at work. The reason I am so fussy with TFT screens is because I use black ones... they look really cool with a black base unit, keyboard and mouse. Much nicer than the standard beige which looks dirty imo.


I had a few issues with the onboard Intel 815 graphics card and an AG screen in RedHat 8.0, I had to revert to the Vesa driver to get a picture. This was sorted out when I moved over to RedHat 9.0...

For anyone who is interested, there is a global shortage of Black TFT screens at the moment... but if anyone would like one before christmas, I can put you in contact with a nice company who have a stock of about 22... ;-)
