- I can. My CTX 1560 monitor broke while using XFree86. Although I think
- that it was because I had abusive settings in the Xconfig file, but
- I can't say for sure. (I got a replacement monitor and duplicated the
- MS windows retrace signals exactly with the oscilloscope in XFree86. So
- far, I have had no problems.)
- However, if you read recent computer mags they all hate the CTX
- due to fuzzy corners (confirmed by me.) Also, tech support is weak, with
- a turnaround time of over 2 weeks for a broken monitor. (Most other companies
- are 48 hours or less.)
- My advice : look at something else. (However, there are some things
- I like, but I don't think these features are unique to CTX.)
