Woah.  Bad news.  The O2 only supports 1280x1024 or less, except with the 
1600sw.  The V6 doesn't support 1600x1200.  The SE only supports 1280x1024 
(at least according to marketing lit. for all those).  I think this is leading
to the SI not doing more either, at least not officially or at decent refresh
rate.  It appears that this is one thing that SSI, SSE, or V8 graphics are 
called for.  What a bloody rip off.  No wonder 2D animation studios are in
a hurry to dump SGI for other workstations.

Looks like I'm not going to be leaving intel or linux behind anytime soon,
even though an O2 still looks like the best way to go for video capture, 
unless the PVO boards for Octanes start becoming cheap, or I find a way to
afford all SDI gear.
