You have my monitor -- please give it back :-)  Seriously, I was  
considering the 2407FPW, but I wasn't sure how to get sound (since I  
use HDMI), so I snarfed a 23" LCD TV with an HDMI input, even though  
it limits me to 720p.  Can one attach speakers to the Dell so it  
could pass the audio it receives from the HDMI port to them?  1080p  
would be sweet, if I could keep the cables to a minimum e.g. keep  
using HDMI for video and audio.

Regarding the framebuffer issue, I also look forward to accelerated  
video under Linux on the PS3 (as well as 802.11 support).  I have a  
dual 2ghz Mac G5, as well as a MacBook, a W2K3 box, a Debian box and  
a Gentoo box.  The video on the OSX and Windows machines is waaaay  
nicer than on the PS3 when moving windows around, etc.

Regards,

John
