I do use KDE with Fluxbox as a backup.. I want to get another monitor but just not right now. I want one that I can flip 90 degrees so that it is tall instead of wide but only want Firefox to run on that. That'll have to wait for now. Right now, I just wanted to see about watching videos on my TV instead of my puter screen. My chair ain't that comfy. lol I caught a cable that will reach on sale for like 60% off and I couldn't pass it up. I just didn't realize that this card could run two displays with different content. I figured what was on one would be on the other. In the long run, this could be really nice. I gave that card a good dust bunny eviction when I had to swap mobos. It's a nice little card. It does really good for my simple stuff. Thanks all. When the cable comes in, I'll check into what comes next. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
