[huskerlug] Re: TV-out

I have a TNT2 32mb Nvidia card that I had working in
both windoze 98 & Redhat 7.2 & 8.0...  I found some
proggy someone made that utilized the TV-out function
for Linux.  the only problem I had with it was I had
to run that proggy as 'su' but it didn't bother me
cause I was the only one using that comp.

Oh, one thing to note.  With my TNT2 in win98, I had
no visual on the monitor when I switched over to TV
mode.  BUT, in Linux, I had 640-480 resolution that
basically zoomed into the upper left corner of my
desktop (which was the same thing it projected on the
TV... My reaction to this was "I can see... it's a
miracle!!!")
