Hmm. I was wondering about the MediaGX. So is there no hardware specific
support needed to get output on the TV (i.e. does all screen output go to
both the VGA and TV Out ports? When it boots does output go to the TV
automatically?). Can the screen output be switched between TV and monitor
in software? Would the VESA frame buffer driver then work (so I could
define a PAL mode)?
If both the TV Out and sound (SB compatible?) are fully supported in Linux
then I'll get a MediaGX machine to play with. Do you know of any UK
distributors for MediaGX motherboards/systems?
Thanks in advance
