LINUX @ omni128.de

[Logo 'registred LINUX-user']

Since a few weeks agoe I was asked in the SuSE-mailinglist about a few details of my knowledge 'round LINUX, I would like to pass a few my experiences here.
Although for the time being still a little unstructured, but the optical adjustments follow in a few weeks.

After I can make now almost everything with my LINUX system... Moment, why only almost everything? I can nevertheless:

Thus I must correct myself nevertheless, I can everything do with my LINUX system, which I want to always make also!

Video output on the computer monitor and/or televisions

Video output on the computer monitor and/or televisions

Since I will not only view my DVDs on my pc-monitor, but also on my Philips's television, flicker-free with 100Hz and in 16:9 as well as in Dolby Surround quality and then also still comfortably of my television armchair I put a Matrox GEFORCE 2 MX graphic card with 64 MB into my system. Thus it is possible for me, to use the S_VHS port of my graphic card for view DVDs, laying lazy on my television armchair or using the VGA-port for mny 19" CRT.
So that this is also simply possible now, I downloaded and installed the necessary NVIDIA-packaged directy from the nVIDIA sites The special trick is now to select over a modified X86Config-configurationfile, where the output should take place. is to now take place. So I can indicate CRT e.g. by starting x with startx -- -layout CRT that the output on the monitor take place or with startx -- -layout CRT that the S-VHS output of the card should be to be used.
Detailed informations (in German) about the configuration-file XF86Config you will find here.
The X86Config for this used looks in the detail in such a way:
