I believe it is the other way around. The source (Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, cable/satelite box, whatever) will not play unless the display supports HDCP and the secret handshake succeeds. Word is that the early disks don't require this, but it is expected to be turned on at some point down the road. Some cable boxes do already have it turned on, and of course there are stories of bugs that prevent this from working properly. So even if you are a good little consumer and buy a HDCP display you still might not get to watch the movie or whatever. Or maybe it plays at low resolution, I forget. > > Is there a standard/specification somewhere for how > > large the hole for connectors is supposed to be? > > I would assume the standard gives pin out and size information. Sorry, I wasn't clear. Not the hole in the card's bracket. The rectangular hole in the case that the connectors stick out of when you install a PCI/PCIe card. On some cases the hole isn't quite large enough for some cards. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
