[brlug-general] vga to video adapter

[c.a. weisheit]

Ed and All;

I will bring the adapter to the next meeting, so you can play with it. Be advised that while it is useful for video, it performs poorly with text. In most situations it would be better to use a display card with TV-OUT. However if you need TV-OUT on a laptop or a machine without free PC slots, its worth considering. Its powered by USB, so no wall warts. No drivers needed either. But most of all it works with...LINUX!

Here is a site selling the item.

Here is an example of a similar unit with even more features!

By the By, What are we doing at the next meeting?
