I connect with SVGA, TV has HDMI, SVGA, S-VHS, Laptop has SVGA, SVHS, Neither have DVI, I recall S-VHS gave low res, & only monochrome=B/W. After you solve your connection, To share displays: cd /usr/ports/x11/xrandr; make install ; man xrandr You will notice one can move & share xterms etc between screeen, but [some] video players seem sticky & wont move so easily (video frame buffers I recall?, I havent had time to look into it much) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultant, Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, like a play script.
