I'm looking at buying a nVidia ION-powered netbook that has a built-in HDMI port. Occasionally I may wish to attach this netbook to a projector, which is likely going to be VGA. I see that fairly cheap HDMI to VGA cables can be purchased, but I assume they only work if the VGA signals are sent through the HDMI cable. I have looked at the ION chipset specs and it's not clear whether they send VGA through the HDMI port or not. nVidia simply says they can do HDMI, displayport, or VGA. If any of you have a netbook with the ION chipset, can you drive a VGA projector through your HDMI port with an adapter cable?
Also, how well does Linux support the ION chipset? thanks. Michael /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
