>From what I know both ATI and Nvidia can do either framebuffer or TVout -- but not both at that same time due to switching drivers. Please explain more about your config. Who makes or where do you find the nvidia driver? The X specific one is good, but doesn't help with framebuffer output. The kernel's framebuffer drivers are ok, but I haven't seen reliable ways to switch to output to TV. My MASTER PLAN is to have DVI (non-HDMI?) or VGA input on a new large TV. Then I could run the radeonfb or the rivafb or something and use a mainstream card that will probably have better DirectFB support. Even the G400 would be easier to configure without worrying about TVout. -Scott ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
