Home / I-Opener Areas / I-Opener Technical Stuff Using i-opener as monitor for desktop Using i-opener as monitor for desktop

Using i-opener as monitor for desktop (modified 0 times) stu953 Profile My i-opener would be most usefull to me modified for use as a VGA or video monitor (for use with a desktop.) Any suggestions for reasonable priced modifications (less than cost of new LCD monitor.) Thank you 12-03-2001 11:06:26

RE:Using i-opener as monitor for desktop (modified 0 times) *SF* Profile Last 15" TFT LCD was $225 !!! That is Hard to Beat... The I-Opener will Never be that ! Best Idea I haven't tested, USB Video In Adaptor. Getting a FULL Screen View from the Capture Display Software is a Question ? I Imagine, If this was the only Function for the I-Opener, Linux might be crafted under 16meg ??? I don't know about such. but maybe USB Drivers were a Problem ? Good Luck ! * StarFish * (Search for Old Posts on this Topic) 12-03-2001 12:00:58

RE:Using i-opener as monitor for desktop (modified 0 times) numbski Profile That's really NOT a bad idea. VNC linux (small footprint) with almost nothing other than VNC, X, and networking running. Get it configured. Once everything is set up properly, then unplug the VGA monitor. You'll essentially be running it as a monitor. :) So long as you get good framerate at 1.5Mbps Numbski 12-06-2001 03:59:33
