Hey guys, is there a way I could output my second display through firewire on my Quicksilver? I'm curious because I want to use the NVIDIA GeForce2MX's video card in my AGP Graphics PowerMac since that particular video does not support dual screens. At least the two I have, they both AGP so it's not like I could even use both in the same mac.

Only thing I an think of off the top of my head would be to use a DV video camera or some other kind of Firewire video I/O connected to a TV display. If that works.

Yeah but that only would work with iMovie, I need something that will take the signal being sent as the display 2 through the firewire port.

It's not going to happen or of something does exist it will be incredibly expensive 🙂 Just pick up another PCI ATI Rage 128 or upgrade to a dual-capable Mac AGP graphics card, like the Mac Radeon 7500 (good cheap card) or Geforce 2 MX (hotter and more expensive).

Apple Remote Desktop will allow you to mirror a display from one Mac to another through a FireWire cable if you're using FireWire networking. There's no way to create a spanned (non-mirrored) display through FireWire, though, this can only be done with a video card.

Yeah no, VNC isn't good enough, plus it would need to be able to play 30fps.

I never thought that was possible.

They got video's of the client mac playing a quicktime. So I guess it's possible. :beige:

But you aren't going to achieve it on a five year old Mac because the software client will not be there... I've been to the demos where a DVD is played in real time to a Windows terminal server client -- and the room was hushed because it is a great demo. That product is not shipping, but I'm going to another demo next week!
