I suspect Dave does actually mean HDMI. There are a lot of laptops
that are coming with HDMI these days. NVidia is supporting it in their
chipselts as it enables display of DRM'ed video data on a TV screen
for watching movies without theft using encryption and Microsoft
tools. (Please, let's not let this turn political...)
I have heard of MythTV frontend boxes sending recorded video over HDMI
to flat panel TVs so it does work in Linux, at least to some extent.
Anyway, mostly I'm correcting my mistake before I make poor Dave spend
too much time on my stupidity.
Cheers,
Mark

Forget everything I just said. It's DVI on the monitors and HDMI on
TVs. We're using DVI here.
I'm wondering if Dave means DVI too....

Thanks for your concern, Mark, but I'm okay. :)
The port is indeed HDMI. The nVidia chipset is the MCP78S (GeForce
8200), which has ALSA support, so I think it's do-able on this machine.

Oh, you want to send *sound* over HDMI. That's different.
I've seen mixed levels of success recently (as opposed to zero success a
while ago). It looks like some people were using the latest NVidia and
ALSA drivers and were able to unmute the HDMI audio.
Start googling the mythtv and alsa forums and bugtracking systems,
there's got to be some indications over there.

I went back to 2.6.24-rt1 on my AMD64 system.
