My ATI Radeon 7000 32 MB PCI does have an S-video output on it. How would I begin to determine whether FreeBSD would support the video out back to my TV (or is this not software dependent?), and is there anyway of determining whether I have enough horsepower to do what I'm trying to do? My knowledge of hardware is somewhat lacking... :( ----------- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org joe@netmusician.org
