If you started two X servers, each should be individually addressable and
setting the DISPLAY variable before starting mythtv should send it to the
correct display. Try:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0
mythfrontend
[exit myth]
and
export DISPLAY=localhost:1
mythfrontend
[exit myth]
this should send mythtv both displays, one at a time and then you can
hardcode that value into a startup script.

Thanks Yan. That sounds easy enough.
When I do the above, I receive:
"mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server localhost:0"
I tried the local host's name and it's IP address with the same result. Do
I need to install something in the xorg.conf? Or maybe a modification
elsewhere?
(Obviously, I am not familar with mythtv and X server errors)

Now, I have a two x displays: one for my monitor at 1280 and one for the tv
at 800x.
My next problem is to find out how to display MythTV output on the TV. The
only option that I found in mplayer to do this was xinerama. But, when I set
this to ON in xorg.conf and restart x I get an error that RANDR crashed.
First of all, I don't know if this is the right or wrong way to push MythTV
output to the second monitor (TV).
Or, if there is a better way.
Anyone?

Hi,
I've run across this problem myself, try rebooting the computer
with init set to 3, and starting x manually, for some reason this
works for me... Never did figure out the source of the problem, once
I had an easy lazy fix I stopped looking :)

I'll give that a try if all else fails :-)<br>
Did you try xauth to change your settings?<br>
