TV as Second Display: Check.

In addition to a bunch of new furniture, Amy and I were given a tv
over the weekend by her parents. So I decided that it needed to go
into my office to act as a second display for the Linux server.
Earlier this week I had put in a new video card with multiple video-
outs, so all I had to do was configure the xorg.conf file and plug it
in. It's great for watching movies through vlc, but not much else due
to the low resolution.

I also upgraded to the beta of Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid Ibex, which
solved some nvidia driver issues. Everything is running smoothly and
I'm glad I upgraded rather than waiting or the full release.
