Correct me if I'm wrong, but all I think you'd need is a video card with a video input. A video card with a complete set of inputs (1 video and 2 audio) would work nicely as well. Look up ATI All-In-Wonder cards. They may be a bit pricey, around $100.00, but are well worth the investment ...

The VGA cable that comes with the Linux kit won't let you play most games on a monitor. The game has to output a 480p signal in order for it to work. Almost all games right now do not have this coded into the game. Future games will most likely use this feature. Tekken 4 already allows a 480p output display and can work with the VGA cable that comes with the Linux kit. The closest solution to a VGA adaptor that will work on all current games is to by an upscan converter which will take the signal and convert it so it can be used with a monitor.
