Some steps to prevent that situation require the user: 1/ Buy a dual DVI-D card (no VGA output, no chance to mess) 2/ Use a DVD-D to DVD-D cable (no VGA pins, no chance either) That should be "bulletproof" to ensure a digital link :-) Anyway, the question still remains. How can we test -here in Debian- if we are getting a digital or analog signal, regardless the source and/or the cable being used? >> Remember Occam's razor statement: "the simplest solution is usually the >> correct one". >> >> > If this were a mission critical situation, I would agree. Small things can grow without warning. We must care any of them. Entropy is out there...
