[mythtv-users] Myth and multiseat

[Yan Seiner]

Occasionally there is discussion here on how to get myth to run in a 
multi-seat environment, with a user login on one monitor and a separate 
myth login on another terminal.  I've been working on such a solution.  
Some fine folks in Brazil have done most of the work and I've hacked up 
the code to patch in support for the evil nvidia binary drivers.

The upside is that you can get several independent heads; even on a 
relatively lowly Athlon 4800+ I can watch TV on 2 heads - one at 720p 
and the other on a 1024x768 monitor, and have 2 user sessions going, all 
from 2 dual-head cards.  The downside is that you lose compiz and XvMC.
