Video Projector Vs. Onboard Video Card
Hi,
I have a CentOS 7 desktop client installed on an old Dell Optiplex computer with an Intel video card integrated into the motherboard. The card has a single VGA connector, and the 19″ monitor is connected to it.
I wonder how I could connect a video projector to this computer while keeping the monitor, in a mirroring configuration, e. g. output is the same on the video projector and the monitor.
Do I have to replace my onboard video card by something like an NVidia GT710 graphic card with two video connectors ? Or is there a different solution for this?
Cheers,
Niki

If you are not concerned about not being able to dual-screen (i.e. have different things displaying on the monitor to what is on the projector, then the easiest way is to just get a VGA splitter.
