First, I'm started to get interested in running one of the more recent<br>SVN versions of mythtv - for the newer XvMC stuff I see being<br>committed. (This would be on an nvidia 5200.) Does anyone have a<br>suggested revision that is "mostly stable."?
<br><br>Second - I read somewhere (on this list, I think) about a person running<br>X with two displays on their 5200 card, but rather than configuring them<br>with twinview, they did something so that each monitor was a seperate X
<br>"display." In other words, they have a DVI display attached to the<br>nv5200 as well as a CRT monitor. When mythfrontend starts, it gets the<br>DVI (DFP) monitor (:1), and then a separate X is started on the CRT
<br>(:0). Anyway, I'm thinking about trying that out, but I can't seem to<br>find the original information on it. An xorg sample would be great.</blockquote><div><br>

I have set up a system with one X-session on the TV and one on the Monitor.<br>
The system is running on Fedora Core 4 with a nVidia GeForce4 MX440 and
the xorg.conf can be found on:
<a href="http://niels.dybdahl.dk/public/xorg.conf.twinview">http://niels.dybdahl.dk/public/xorg.conf.twinview</a><br>
<br>
Note that I had problems using Gnome on that configuration (Gnome
locked up after starting two applications, when MythTV was showing a
recording on the TV, A window with "authentication indicator" shows up
and can not be closed). These problems did not occur when using KDE.<br>
