[NTLUG:Discuss] OT: Video Cardsa and TV Out

[Paul Drew]

Hello,
I am a big gamer myself, and I would love to know what your results are with 
that. In my experience TV out is only bad when trying to read text. I am 
currently using a 32" plasma for some FSP games, but its windows o/s. Most 
online games detect Linux as an external program and ban assuming its a 
cheat. :( Therefore I am stuck with my windows box till they accept linux 
and it becomes more mainstream.
