[PLUG] VGA card mot ideal...

[someone]

Is there an AGP 4x video card specifically designed for making an HDMI  
connection to an HDTV?  VGA is the standard, but a television is NOT a  
VGA monitor.

I still am wondering how to fit the picture to the screen in Linux.   
Worse, Linux text mode is nice to have but the GEForce 6200 I'm using  
doesn't fit the screen in text mode.

Why fight a video card designed for a standard monitor if I can get  
one that is designed for connecting to a television?

I'm beginning to think that getting Linux to install to a Wii is the  
way to go because of the video issues when a standard computer is used.

Surely someone makes an embedded board or a video card that is  
intended for HDTVs.
If not, somebody should.  The whole idea of a set top box is defeated  
if you have to have a computer monitor as well.
