Simultaneous Linux console & TV?
I'm planning to put together a 2.2GH Athlon system to run my low volume server
(firewall, web site, mail server) together with Myth backend & frontend. I'm
planning to get a PVR 250 so I have no problem with CPU power.

My plan is to have multiple video cards, one to drive my Linux console and one
for TV out. My AGP card has a GeForce4 with video out. (When I hook up the TV,
it shows my command line Linux console but goes blank when I go into X
(1024x768) which seems reasonable to me.)

Is anyone using this type of setup? Any tips or suggestions regarding a second
video card or configuration that will make my life easier?

Thanks,
Vince

Read the email on Nvidia cards posted about 8 hours ago, it tells you
how to do this.

:D
