Your ideas are very "mixed"  - tell us what you want.  You do not give
specifics (probably by design) as to your plans..  Sounds like you
want 2 displays on the same FE..

Let everyone know and you will probably get an answer..

Or not - if the question is cryptic again...  I remember someone
asking for an ascii art of your setup - we have yet to see it..
Especially for someone who poses so many questions (and crossposts
(maybe imaginably) also) to the list..
