Hello, We are about to build a new system and we were thinking to use FreeBSD for the deployment. We need to show on a closed networks of TV sets some announcements, presentations and animations. The application will be written in Java but what I need to know is: 1) is there any card with TV output supported by FreeBSD; 2) Since the FreeBSd machine is going to be used as a server and the announcements will be placed by clients on the network, is there any way to automatically start the graphical environment and run the java application on a specific video card without affecting the main console video card. Usually there is going to be no console monitor connected but we may require to connect one for maintance reasons. Thats why I want to use a secondary video card for the announcments and also I don't want that someone that might play "accintentaly" with the keyboard to kill the application or move windows arround. any coments; nn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
