[mythtv-users] Running two X servers (with PVR350) at the same time?

[John Harvey]

I run my second X server which is a patched XFree so
that it doesnt worry about Virtual Terminal switching.
So this one just runs and the other normal desktop one
switches off when you switch terminals away from it.
I'll try to dig out the patch i used later (or i can
send you a pre-built x server if you like).
