Allen,<br><br>If you configure your X-server with 2 seperate xscreens you could start mythfrontend with the DISPLAY variable to run it on a specific screen.<br><br>To start it on your svideo this would result in: "DISPLAY=:0.1 mythfrontend" You could also add the -geometry parameter after this if you like. <br>
<br>I've attached the relevant parts of my xorg.conf for your reference. <br><br><br>Regards, Youri<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 4/29/08, <b class="gmail_sendername">allene222</b> <<a href="mailto:nabble@oldpaloalto.com">nabble@oldpaloalto.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
This email documents the solution to my dual display question.<br> <br> My setup has a TV with SVideo input and a projector with 720p DVI<br> input. I want to be able to use either one but not both at the same time.<br> <br>
First I configured my Nvedia 6200 for dual display mirror. This didn't<br> work. The resolution was set to low on both monitors and the picture<br> was jerky -- probably out of CPU cycles.<br> <br> Then I set it up for dual monitors extended desktop. That didn't work<br>
either as when looking at the TV, it only showed part of the desktop. I<br> guess it was assuming the DVI monitor was on as well.<br> <br> So, just simple dual desktop and restart X with whatever monitor I want<br> to use connected and the other one (off or disconnected -- have not<br>
verified off is good enough yet). Anyway, with the DVI disconnected,<br> myth automatically starts on the SVideo. With both or DVI connected, it<br> starts on DVI. I believe my projector looks missing when off so this<br>
should work.<br> <br> Allen<br> <br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> mythtv-users mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br> <a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a><br>
