I do use KDE with Fluxbox as a backup.. I want to get another monitor |
| 20 |
but just not right now. I want one that I can flip 90 degrees so that |
| 21 |
it is tall instead of wide but only want Firefox to run on that. |
| 22 |
That'll have to wait for now. Right now, I just wanted to see about |
| 23 |
watching videos on my TV instead of my puter screen. My chair ain't |
| 24 |
that comfy. lol I caught a cable that will reach on sale for like 60% |
| 25 |
off and I couldn't pass it up. I just didn't realize that this card |
| 26 |
could run two displays with different content. I figured what was on |
| 27 |
one would be on the other. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
In the long run, this could be really nice. I gave that card a good |
| 30 |
dust bunny eviction when I had to swap mobos. It's a nice little card. |
| 31 |
It does really good for my simple stuff. |
| 32 |

| 33 |
Thanks all. When the cable comes in, I'll check into what comes next. |
