[vcf-midatlantic] Monitor needed for museum

[William Dromgoole]

The problem is that you have to log in to the computer to edit the configuration file to switch from HDMI to composite video.
Maybe it already is set to composite. I guess its worth a try to see if there is any display on the monitor.

Continuing to think aloud: the big monitor already installed above our 
workbench has composite input. I know it works because I tested it with 
a Laser 128 not long ago. Unlike the HDMI monitor on the museum ceiling 
(facing the door), the composite monitor in the workshop can be 
comfortably viewed from anywhere. Plus a long RCA cable is something I 
have laying around, vs. buying a long HDMI cable. :)
