<pre wrap="">unless I'm mistaken, twinview just appears to be an nvidia only
version of xinerama, and only one of my cards is nvidia. As for
xinerama cloning, it will quite happily play the video to both cards.
I'll have to experiment some, and see what happens, unfortunately I
can't try anything until the weekend (WAF!)

While I have an nvidia card, that's what I do. I run two separate X
windows one to a CRT and the other to a TV running mythfrontend.<br>
If I want to change options in mythfrontend/mythtvsetup I just run it
in the CRT window and change the settings. The TV output continues to
run mythfrontend and the chnages take effect after I restart playback
(don't have to exit mythfrontend) of the TV output.<br>

<pre wrap="">Steve,
thanks, that sounds like it might be exactly what I'm looking for. It
might sound a bit odd, but I don't have a problem with a blank screen
when playing videos. I had thought about trying to get something like
vnc working, talking to itself, but this sounds better.
Yan, interesting idea, but ideally I'd want an exact duplicate of the
mythfrontend interface, and trying to manually make a menu structure
to mimic the frontend for 50gb of music could be a nightmare
thanks

<pre wrap="">I think you're misunderstanding my requirements, I don't want 2
independent frontends. Let's start again:
I have a front end with 2 monitors attached. I want to be able to use
either monitor to control THE SAME mythfrontend. One of these monitors
is being driven by a really old, crappy 8mb pci graphics card, with no
hardware decoding. Because of this, I don't want tv/video outputting
to this screen, but I still want to be able to tell myth to play tv. I
realise this last is slightly redundant, but I have reasons.
basically, i'm planning on trying to turn the second monitor into a
small touchscreen, on the front of my case, and outputting video to
this would be pretty pointless. If it is not possible to disable
video/tv, then I'll have to come up with an alternative solution
</pre>

<pre wrap="">OK, step out of the box. Set up a second monitor, start a new X session
in it, and then use either kbdd or kbde (your choice, google for them)
and a menuing system of your design to send keystrokes to the real
mythfrontend.
I'd be curious if this would work with the 'telnet socket control' with
the new 0.19....
Let me know after you have it working :-)
