Re: Multihead on the Cheap

Hi John, Probably not as ambitious as you want, but while I was playing with a nvidia card some time ago I used the tv set as a 2nd monitor running off the s video out from the card. In xorg I could set the tv to clone the monitor, or to be right/left side extension. An app started & maximis
