The linked thread is about twinview, which if I understand it is
cloning a single interface to two monitors.  I believe the OP, and I
know I, was referring to 2 separate interfaces so the "real" monitor
acts like a standard desktop and the TV acts like a PVR, without
having to move the mouse off the edge of screens to give them focus.

Or even more so in my case where it would be really nice for one
spouse to be able to surf the web/play games/whatever while another
uses the Myth installation....

Thanks, though!!!
