The tvs should be plugged in at card boot time, and should 'just work'. Or so I'm told -- I have a radeon, and it's not *that* simple :/ If you're seeing framebuffer console on the tv output, X via fbdev should be a non brainer. -- John Lenton (john@grulic.org.ar) -- Random fortune: Chimenea nueva blanca unos días, y al cabo negra.
