I do use KDE with Fluxbox as a backup..  I want to get another monitor but just not right now.  I want one that I can flip 90 degrees so that it is tall instead of wide but only want Firefox to run on that.  That'll have to wait for now.  Right now, I just wanted to see about watching videos on my TV instead of my puter screen.  My chair ain't that comfy.  lol  I caught a cable that will reach on sale for like 60% off and I couldn't pass it up.  I just didn't realize that this card could run two displays with different content.  I figured what was on one would be on the other.

In the long run, this could be really nice.  I gave that card a good dust bunny eviction when I had to swap mobos.  It's a nice little card.  It does really good for my simple stuff.

Thanks all.  When the cable comes in, I'll check into what comes next.
