Now that's just common sense. I'm running ubuntu 11.04. Do you anticipate issues when I purchase the video card, and install it? Do you think the new card will be "seen" by the system, and used instead of the factory setup? I've never added a video card to a computer, before.

I have them, and I use them often. You cannot take an HDMI signal and push it to a DVI monitor that isn't native HD but you can do it the opposite way. You just need to know the exact resolution you want to push if the software / x flavor doesn't do it automatically. > >>> > >> Well, according to the data sheet on his computer, it wouldn't work > >> because he only has an HD15 VGA out. > >> _______________________________________________ > >> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > >> tclug-list at mn-linux.org > >> http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
