10 bits

I have a Radeon 9800 XT, Win2K system and am running 2.54 PC version
Psychtoolbox. This card supposedly has 10 bit capability but
when I check with ScreenDacBits(w) I get back 8 and when I use
LocalClut to put in a 10 bit value it doesn't work. Has anyone gotten
this to work?
Should I be doing something differently? I do understand that there will
only be 256 DAC positions per color but I want each position to hold a
10 bit value.

I am also interested in using 2 of the above set-ups in a dichoptic
display. To do that I would need to synchronize the 2 ATI Radeon cards.
I have read the Tips section on this but wondered if anyone has had
success synchronizing with software? PowerStrip
(http://www.entechtaiwan.com)
lets you control timing of the video card and I am wondering if I might
use this utility somehow?
Thanks, Ed FitzGibbon
