I just spoke to someone from Audio Authority which is the company that makes the device I linked to: http://www.digitalconnection.com/Products/Video/9a60.asp The guy there says it won't work because a computer outputs a non-interlaced signal and a standard TV uses interlaced. Basically, exactly what you said. From your link, it looks like an interlaced signal can be specifiec in xorg.conf which should solve that problem. Is that right? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
