It would be nice if Nvidia just let us disable the TV-out in setup somewhere so it wouldn't be an issue. Have you tried playing DVD's in Linux with these cards? It's not a rhetorical question, as I plan to use one (Ti4200 based) on Linux soon myself (dual boot Win2K/RedHat 9). No, I haven't played with Linux for about a year. If all I did was surf and email it would have worked just fine, but I wasn't impressed with the gaming options on Linux, outdated man pages, and lack of workable drivers for some peripherals I had. I may pick it up again, but no current plans to. I remember that the Nvidia drivers that came with the original dist worked fine until it came time to update, then I couldn't get the newer drivers to work. It finally sat on my hard drive for months unused until I recovered the partitions for windows use. |

Like I said, I may play with it again, just haven't gotten around to it, and no real reason to as I pretty much have everything working the way I want it to on XP. |

I probably won't use any more Microsoft OS'es at home past Win2K. Linux does everything I want with a few exceptions (yeah, like games). I find I can make DivX movies faster, smaller, with higher quality under Linux so I use it a lot. DVD playback works really well with the Ogle player. --Keith |
