In addition to the below items, Another interesting approach would be to use a dedicated video port for myth output. This could either be (s)vga, svideo, composite from a aux port from a video card that offers multiple outputs.
I find this configuration more flexible as I can login to the primary screen using a standard computer monitor and when desired watch tv off of the secondary port which I have connected to a hd projector. And with a powerful enough computer and video card(s) you can effectively multitask. On Mon, 2005-08-22 at 10:54 -0400, Zak wrote: > You have several options for the video: > 1.
