Re: [xine-user] Anyone have problems with Creative?

[Xine u. d. <xi...@ki...>]

Wickedacious!!!

Does the board also have audio left and right out?
(I now know it has coposite video out) which is
all I have for now, composite video and line level
audio.

Now I do have a spare monitor that is capable of only
800X600, can I connect that up to the card and
sit it on the floor?

Thanks again.
