Thanks for your helping words. I have to say that I'm completely new to multimedia stuff at home (I only have an old DVD player and a 20 years old TV); I was not even thinking in VGA-HDMI and/or laptops with HDMI output (is this supported by X11 or just transparent for X11?) concerning the LAN board of the TV: it awaits an DLNA server in the LAN to show content from there and it seems that there is such a server in net/minidlna; will test this when I have time; Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz | /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign: www.asciiribbon.org E-mail: guru@unixarea.de | \ / - No HTML/RTF in E-mail WWW: http://www.unixarea.de/ | X - No proprietary attachments phone: +49-170-4527211 | / \ - Respect for open standards
