OpenGL on a TV using GeForce3 Ti200
September 12, 2003 01:22 PM
Hi,
I have a Creative GeForce3 Ti200 and I''m wondering if it''s at all possible to initialize and use OpenGL on a TV through the TV-out. I haven''t got X installed and I hope I can get by without it.
The thing is, I have this linuxbox in my livingroom and I thought it would be nice if I could use it to show different effects (kinda like WinAmp plugins) on the TV. Any of you ever done something like this?
Thanks

I believe most cards can only display hardware accelleration on the primary output. So if you set the tv-out as primary it should work the same way as on a monitor.
I did it the easy way and bought me a second-hand snes though

Hi,
Yes, thats definently a way to go.
How do I set the TV as primary monitor? I''ve seen examples on how to do it using XFree86, but I want to try without installing X. Do I need a special driver? Where do I start looking?
Thanks for the response.

Ok, then I''ll just have to install X. I wanted an installation as small as posible, but if I have to, I have to. Thanks for the replies.
