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

I run a very similiar setup. While myth doesn't run when the normal
screen is activated, the TV0ut on the PVR-350 still works (not the
framebuffer, however). So I switch to VT8 to change channels, browse
the guide, menus, recordings, etc, but when something is playing I can
switch back to the desktop and work. Not a very permanent solution,
but it works!
