What's "SVGA"? Need that for an HDTV hook up?

I'm preparing to set up my friend's Mini, when it arrives. She will be using her new Samsung HD TV, with a VGA input. I already gathered that I need a Male to Male VGA cable (the adaptor comes in the box, right?) But I was just now on monoprice.com to get the cable and see they have "S"VGA cables. Will this work?
Also...is there specific monitor settings within the Mini to accommodate the widescreen display....that may be the subject for another post, but, if you know, please fee free to post...thanks

Yes, the DVI->VGA adpater comes in the box, and yes, the SVGA cable you've seen will work just fine as long as it is male-male.
Try for 1280x720 for resolution on a widescreen TV.

  • Cpufreqd - What is that and what do I need that for?

    I just found that 'cpufreqd' among my installed packages.
    But I was not yet able to find out what it actually does.
    I have 'cpufreq' (notice the missing d) running in my daemons array. What's the difference now, and what would I do with cpufreqd?

    Number one:
    $ pacman -Ql cpufreqd
    cpufreqd /etc/
    cpufreqd /etc/cpufreqd.conf
    cpufreqd /etc/rc.d/
    cpufreqd /etc/rc.d/cpufreqd
    cpufreqd /usr/
    cpufreqd /usr/bin/
    cpufreqd /usr/bin/cpufreqd-get
    cpufreqd /usr/bin/cpufreqd-set
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/cpufreqd_acpi.so
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/cpufreqd_apm.so
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/cpufreqd_cpu.so
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/cpufreqd_exec.so
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/cpufreqd_governor_parameters.so
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/cpufreqd_nforce2.so
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/cpufreqd_pmu.so
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/cpufreqd_programs.so
    cpufreqd /usr/lib/cpufreqd_tau.so
    cpufreqd /usr/man/
    cpufreqd /usr/man/man1/
    cpufreqd /usr/man/man1/cpufreqd-get.1.gz
    cpufreqd /usr/man/man1/cpufreqd-set.1.gz
    cpufreqd /usr/man/man5/
    cpufreqd /usr/man/man5/cpufreqd.conf.5.gz

    cpufreqd /usr/man/man8/cpufreqd.8.gz
    cpufreqd /usr/sbin/
    cpufreqd /usr/sbin/cpufreqd
    And number two (well, there is no separate package 'cpufreq'.. but see yourself):
    $ pacman -Qo /etc/rc.d/cpufreq
    /etc/rc.d/cpufreq is owned by cpufrequtils 002-3
    $ pacman -Ql cpufrequtils
    cpufrequtils /etc/
    cpufrequtils /etc/conf.d/

    Where do you guys get those cool pacman commands from? The man pages are kinda not so helpful....

  • After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

    After an update to firefox I keep getting a warning from my Firewall (McAfee) "Program wants internet access". I have permission set at outgoing for firefox and updates checking off, to check that request is valid so what does it need access for

    This was not a Firefox update, but a piece of malicious software you have inadvertently downloaded from a site called http://ffftp.co.cc/ which is impersonating Firefox. I discovered this as soon as my Zonealarm requested permission for "Golds" to access the internet. Golds??!! However I couldn't find a file with this name installed on my computer.
    You should delete the file you downloaded and certainly do not allow internet access to any suspicious program. If you have already given permission, scan your PC immediately for any virus, malware, etc. Best of luck.

  • What are the needed tools for JDBC???

    iam new to this field, i want to know what are the required tools for JDBC??
    i know that i need java.sql and javax.sql packages, but how can i get them???
    what about the drivers???
    thnx in advance

    You need to go to the vendor's web site such as Oracle and download the jar file for that particular database. Example: ojdbc14.jar for an oracle database and copy it to the 'lib' folder of your project and then include it with your project. Within that jar file, you will have datasource, preparedStatement, resultSet objects. You will need to read up on how to instansiate the datasource for that database from the vendor's documentation.

    That is how it connects to a cell provider. If you are using your iPhone just as an iPod you will need the nanoSIM if you ever update or have to restore that phone.

  • I have SOA suite and Jdeveloper, what do i need more for BAM ?

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    I have installed both soa suite and latest version of jdeveloper
    I can see BAM node under connections node but i do not know how should i add the bam server connection.
    so my questions are :
    -should i install the bam server seperately or it come with ORACLE SOA suite?
    -if i should install seperately, where is hould find it?
    -if it is inside the SOA suite How i can activate it and add it to my Jdeveloper?
    thanks

    \BAM is part of SOA suite, but BAM should be installed separately, Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/bam/index.html for details.

  • Is there a web service to batch download content for all sites in iTunesU? We need that for server maintenance.

    I cannot find matching functionalities from existing WS set.

    Hi,
    You can try to use either the Content Query webpart or the Table of contents webpart. There are other options  as well like enable the subsites in the top navigation bar or quick launch.
    Maybe you can configure a custom page that will have the table of contents webpart displayed and include a link in the global navigation to the custom page?
    Hope this helps

  • What is my best option for a family plan. We have 1 smartphone that uses very little data a usually wifi is avaiable and 3 basic phones. Currently we have 700 shared minutes and unlimited texting. And 30 data. I don't think he needs that much as wifi is e

    What is the best family plan option. Currently have one smart phone with 30gb of data and 3 basic phones. Also have home phone for $20/month. Current plan is 700 shared minutes and unlimited texting. My bill is close to $200/month, looking to lower if possible.

    Great Advice given earlier by SuzyQ   - I believe the question not asked of you is ---what do you want to pay for the services that you need.  I think that it would narrow the groups suggestions if you could narrow your needs.
    For example: I need talk and text on 4 phones and some data say, 2 Gig, on only one of the phones. what plan is the best cost for me? You may also need to ask what the cost may be to switch to a different plan. I suspect that there will be no cost within Verizon-but ask anyway.
    I do not think that you can have a smart phone on any Verizon plan unless you agree to buy data for that phone. Also, you said that wifi is often available-however, I do not believe that Verizon allows talking over wifi without consuming airtime minutes-only data over wifi avoids your allowance to be impacted.
    As most here already know, several other service providers offer wifi-friendly service (talk/text/data) that will provide  home/business/restaurant service without impacting your allowance- just not here.
    After getting some suggestions here, call 611 and confirm availibility and price.    
    Best of luck in your research.
