Hi There is nothing to stop me fromtrying S-Video except I would need to spend some money buying an S-Video to S-Video cable (which I might try at some point anyway). At the moment I am more worried about the XWindows Panel appearing at the bottom of the TV screen when I start using the the computer monitor. My IR Remote control also does not have a huge number of buttons (Came with my Adaptec VIDEOh! DVD Media Center) and so I would also like to use the keyboard to driving Mythtv on the second Screen. I am new to Mythtv and only recently got my Remote working and have not completely figured out how to drive it properly. If I cannot get the keyboard / panel on TV problem sorted I may abandon using Mythtv to watch live TV (originally I got the card to just copy home videos onto DVDs). I am currently running KDE 3.2.3 on Mandrake 10.1 Official and from reading lots of different posts / faqs on the subject of multiple screens and moving the mouse between screens I might try some different window managers to see if that helps. Does anyone have a similar system working with a monitor and TV with different screens using KDE.
