Dual head on Nvidia under linux

Posted in Uncategorized, HTPC at 1:38 pm by are

After getting a projector I wanted to use my HTPC on both the TV and the projector at the same time with the same picture. When I only play music I don’t want to use the projector. But when I play movies…well you know.

(I have a Nvidia graphicscard)

To set up X to display both on TV-out and DFP (DVI) in clone mode:

Section “Device”
Identifier “nvidiacard”
Driver “nvidia”
VideoRam 65536
Option “TwinView”
Option “TwinViewOrientation” “Clone”
Option “MetaModes” “800×600, 800×600″
Option “HorizSync” “TV-0: 30-50; DFP-0: UseEdidFreqs”
Option “VertRefresh” “TV-0: 60; DFP-0: UseEdidFreqs”
Option “SecondMonitorHorizSync” “UseEdidFreqs”
Option “SecondMonitorVertRefresh” “UseEdidFreqs”
Option “TVStandard” “PAL-B”
Option “TVOutFormat” “SVIDEO”
EndSection

The good old adventure quests from the 80s and 90s

Posted in Uncategorized at 1:53 am by are

I’m one of those that loves the adventure quest games. I have played almost every title from Sierra and Lucas Arts. So head on over to
Vintage Sierra - A Sierra On-Line Museum and take a look back in history.
They don’t make games like these anymore, at least not many…it’s a shame.

Some of the games is available for download, such as Kings Quest 1,2 and 3. Go here: http://www.agdinteractive.com/
