hi all,

i wanted to know if it is possible have my open suse desktop pc connected to my 46 sharp aquous tv. yes it strange but if windows can do it why not linux?

basically my screen is black with no image on it. im using a standard vga cable for it at the moment. any pointers will be greatly appreciated.

thanks and happy new year!
