I just though of something else. I'm gong to have to make sure whatever distro I use will support my video card. Otherwise, I'm kissing my composite out goodbye and will find myself stuck with a pricey VGA monitor. I'll do that bit of research tomorrow. |

If you can get the board to show the bios set up on the tv then you should be able to run linux in vesaFB mode and have it work. If not not look at the docs for, the kernel fb driver for you card, Xfree86, and xmame/advancemame. And your video card is? |

ECS AG315T. It uses a SIS 315 controller. Unfortunately it's not very linux friendly. I have used it with linux in the past but I've never looked to see if I could get video out of the composite. If not I'll just find an AGP card that will work. ATI and Nvida are more linux friendly. One of the All-In-Wonder cards should work well for me if my ECS doesn't work. |

http://www.winischhofer.net/linuxsis630.shtml looks to be the place for linux on sis hardware. |

When you say composite is that the coaxial cable, RCA cable or s-video? Because depending on which you use might determine wether this is doable or not. The guncon I own for ps1 has a cable that plugs into the video feed from the ps1 to the tv and this connection is rca. My question is how would you combine the two signals on your tv if they are going to different video inputs on the tv? |
