Hi All,
Is there a solution under linux that can accept video in from another source and show it but also be able to turn that source off (in an automated way) and show the normal linux console. Then (in an automated way) switch back and show the external source again.
So I want to normally be showing an external VGA input, then based on some event switch the monitor output to the normal linux console, then based on another event switch back to the external VGA signal again.
Thanks,
Jerry

Jerry, this is in no way related directly to CentOS, I would recommend you take your query to a more appropriate list like Video For Linux etc.

Could you do something cunning with Xvfb ?
