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
