<0> meh
<0> s/mm/ll/
<1> has anyone tried extending keyboard cables?
<0> Yeh
<1> I need to extend a cable by about 5 m
<1> I also happen to have lots of telephone cable lying around
<1> would that do?
<0> depends on the interface type, I'd say
<0> 5m is a lot though
<1> PS/2
<1> the computer will be in the next room
<1> to limit noise
<0> I'd get an IP based kvm or heck, a thin client
<2> try it and see, i guess everyone else just used a pre***embled extension cord
<2> but better dont short anything...
<0> I have a few lying about, but they're not nearly 5m long
<0> You might get lucky using TP though
<1> I have a 10 m VGA extension
<2> 5m shouldnt be that much of an issue, you can get 10m+ long cables for kvm switches as well
<1> forgot to get a PS/2 extension at the same time
<0> 10m VGA...that signal will ****
<1> and since there is no decent computer store here, I'll have to order it, and the shipping will cost more than the cable
<2> mouse is another story though
<0> If I had to do anything like that now, I'd go thethin client route. Get a Sun Ray 1g
<1> I'm not sure if I even want X
<3> wlfshmn: booh
<1> so an old 17" CRT and a 10 m cable could do
<0> X is handy to aggregate terminal emulators
<4> Lion-O: hum?
<1> right now I really only want emacs and a comfortable chair, so I could finally get some *work* done
<1> why would the signal ****? voltage drop or interference?
<3> who cares...
<1> should be properly shielded, one might think
<2> both, signal quality generally doesnt get better in cables
<1> I'm transmitting video between TV-card -> TV over ~10 m of the telephone cord I mentioned earlier
<1> and yes, there are some strange things going on
<2> eww
<1> brighter areas moving back and forth, etc :-]
<1> but, a proper VGA cable shouldn't be nearly as bad
<1> I should test it and find out myself, I suppose :-]
<5> 10 meters is going to cause some evilness in the video of any analog signal.. be it vga or otherwise
<2> should be good enough for a text console... with a proper font and color selection
<6> ru__: probably not as bad, but still worse than a 1m cable
<5> I have triple shielded vga cable and even that I dont know if i'd want 10 meters of
<4> I probably have 4m of vga cable on this thing, and it's slightly noticable
<7> mozzart: "people"
<4> I keep it though to motivate ime into buying a damn tft
<1> I'll get two once I make the switch
<1> what discourages me the most though are the *other* upgrades I'd have to do
<1> graphics, most probably motherboard as well
<1> to be able to run at any useful resolution and speed
<3> seems the topic is full :P
