3" lcd as second monitor - how to drive from MP?

mybrains · 2006-07-12, 15:30

I have added a second PCI video card to me HTPC driving a 3" lcd over composite video. This gives me a second windows 'monitor' abet at a low 640 x 200 res. It is colour and the video card is a MX4000 Nvidia.

Now the Question is how do i drive this monitor with statisitcs from MP? One thought was to use a LCD plugin, but its text only, and I would have to write a simple VB.NET app to read the serial data and display it on the second 'monitor'.

what are your thoughts?

Hi,
on webinterface I can't see the desktop snapshot image... Is it a bug? Or I have to do something ?

Thanks,
Dado
