Hmm, I'm not sure that'll work, justs looks like a standard dual screen
config to me.
Thanks for the input Brad - but I want the displays to be entirely seperate
like a multi-seat system. Otherwise if I'm surfing the web on the vga
screen, when someone try's to use the remote to change the channel or
something on the frontend on the s-vid their keypresses will come through to
the web browser because it has focus, and not to mythfrontend :-(
I'm giving up on this, slinging this box in the loft as a dedicated server
and not going to try running a desktop off of it as well as a full time
mythfrontend.
I just wish winmyth/dsmyth would work with .18.1-fixes the only time I've
had dsmyth working and i've been able to play files by clicking on the in
mythweb was when the BE was a knoppmyth box.
I'll leave that to another post perhaps!
Thanks for your time
Steve
