Has anyone tried using the composite video out under XFree86 under FreeBSD? My goals are simple, Motherboard hooked into the video system (Sony XT40v hooked to a video distro amp hooked to the 3 LCDs). I plan to use either a microcontroller that reads the factory steering wheel controls for radio (up/select/down) or just hang the 3 buttons straight off of the parallel port. But the one thing I'm uncertain of is the video. Does the composite output automatically kick in if the video is set to 800x600 or 720x480 or whatever? My goal was a FreeBSD logo desktop with no real window manager, and using the steering wheel controls to select video category (rock, industrial, r&b, comedy, documentary) and up/down for previous / next video file. I found a slick BSD Motorsports sticker from somewhere as well. Haven't ordered the computer parts, just finished getting the LCDs and started to plan the massive mess of cables that are going to have to run under seats, thru seats, to the trunk, to the dash, etc. I plan to document it all though. -- Ethan
