Apple Cinema Display on Fedora Core 1?

[Eric Krieger]

I've found that to use the Cinema Display on a PC that having an ATI
Radeon 7200, or better,  video card is an advantage.   I've also found
that the 20 inch display in by far crisper that the 23 inch.   You might
need the DVI to ADC converter to connect you PC to the display. The
converter can be purchase via apples site...
