David, Could you please be a little more specific about your configuration? I saw on the web a device from Vdigi electronics which claims to do what you describe but mentions only the PS2 in its manual (the ad mentions the PS3). I assume you obtained a component cable for the PS3 as well (the cable which comes with the PS3 is only composite video). The total cost of these two devices is about $100, which is a little high. I might try exchanging my Samsung 940BW for a 940B which is supposedly HDCP compliant and use the HDMI port as I am doing now.
I assume that with analogue video, your monitor can display the image without scaling (with a border around the image in most cases)? Thanks. -wn On Jan 9, 2007, at 1:15 AM, David Seikel wrote: > On Tue, 9 Jan 2007 08:59:17 -0000 "Paul Baxter" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> FWIW >> >> HDCP is required for using a monitor with Linux *from the HDMI* >> output.
