Using X and SVGAlib Concurrently?
Walter Bell asks: "I have two video cards in my Linux PC, one of which has a TV out jack. I would like to connect the TV out jack to my color LCD panel and use it as a system status monitor (kind of like this), while I am running X on the other video card to serve as my desktop. Is it possible to use SVGAlib/GGI and X at the same time on two different video adapters? Right now I can switch between the two but only one of the adapters is active at a given time, depending on which virtual console is active. Is there a workaround?" -
Cheap 6" Active Matrix LCD
Mike Johnson writes "Going back to all the talk about the nifty little LCDproc displays, I found something that might be of interest. Check out this site for information about a small display." Its a bit thin on details, but it costs only $99. Takes RGB input. SVGA would be cooler, but hey, its cheap. Add sine QuickCams for cheap videoconferencing, Or hook it up in a space where you don't have room for a big screen. I dunno. It just looks cool.
