Recently, I saw a conversation about graphics cards which can output to TV under FreeBSD. I have some questions about the various supported methods. I noticed that Andre Albsmeier was able to get the G400 working, but what configuration does that reflect? Are we talking about two independent displays with different resolutions and refresh rates? How is the performance? Can you use 3D on either head with the TV head enabled? I'm trying to decide between the G400 DH and a G550. I'd like good 3D *and* TV-out, and I'm hoping both are possible at once. I'd like the TV head to be fast enough for flawless MPEG playback, and if 3D worked on it, that would be a plus. Thanks for your insight. -nick -- Nicholas Esborn Unix Systems Administrator nick@netdot.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
