I have a laptop with<br>> Ubuntu running OpenLP (open source lyric projection). The TVs do not<br>> have a VGA connector and the laptop only has a VGA connector. I bought<br>> two VGA->HDMI adapters. When I connect the laptop to this with a short<br>> VGA cable (~6') I get full 1920x1080. This runs through a 4-port VGA<br>> video splitter, also with a ~6' cable. Works as it should. However, when<br>> I connect a 75' video cable from the laptop to the splitter Ubuntu only<br>> wants 1024x768 (verified via 'xrandr -q' on the CLI). This seems like a<br>> loss of video signal. Would a VGA signal booster eliminate this? I don't<br>> want to spend more money without being sure. This seems plain to me, but<br>> I want to make sure I am not missing anything.<br>> -- <br>> john-thomas<br>> -----<br>> If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in<br>> each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.<br>> Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, poet (1807-1882)<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> grlug mailing list<br>> grlug@grlug.org<br>> http://shinobu.grlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/grlug<br></div><img src="https://app.getsidekick.com/img.gif?ukey=agxzfnNpZ25hbHNjcnhyGAsSC1VzZXJQcm9maWxlGICAgJ_52v0LDA&key=d1f6286ed0d811e4ba29d3f0a8e4aa88" style="display:none" height="1" width="1"></div> </div></body>
