Well, to do *exactly* what you're asking for... Let's call them computer A and B, A being the one you want to watch on B. :-) First, put a composite/svhs out card in A and configure it (you may already have a video card that can do this, such as a modern ATI, Matrox or Nvidia). If that's too painful (or the previous solution doesn't give you complete visibility), you can get a vga to composite/svhs external adapter at places like Jaycar. Put a video capture card into computer B, and switch to the composite/svhs input - da-da, all vga output of computer A. That said, you're probably better off using Tony's solution, and making sure computer A has full serial console support from the BIOS on (most server class machines and motherboards will). - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2005: Canberra, Australia http://linux.conf.au/ "Everything I knew about TCP/IP I had downloaded the same day I started hacking the net code." - Alan Cox -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
