[mythtv-users] Re: Recommended PCI video out cards?

[Harold Martin]

So basically any true video card with s-video or composite out should
work?
My only question is will I need to mess with the BIOS at all?? I don't
need it to be the primary video or anything, just need X or wahtever
display software to recognize and use it.
I'm working on one the old Compaqs that have that weird software-BIOS :(
Thanks,
Harold
