Just run X _without the +xinerama flag
(have the XF86config setup as if it were using xinerama)
Without using +xinerama on startup, it'll make each display a separate
screen.
So you'll have a display of localhost:0.0 for the first one,
And localhost:0.1 for the second.
That's what I have setup now..it's great.it seperates the monitors but I
only
Need to run one X server...

Subject: [mythtv] getting 2 distinct X displays to run simultaneously
Hello all,
I have set up my box running mythtv. I have my primary video
(geforce3 agp
w/ tv out) feeding my tv, while i have a second pci card running a
monitor so
the machine is dual purpose. Right now, I have it set up with xinerama.
I
want it set up so that the display on the tv is a distinct, always
running
copy of X for mythtv. I can get 2 separate displays, but I need to
switch
between then (alt-f8, alt-f7), with only 1 active and displaying. Any
ideas
people?
