<br>
Thanks for your input. All I want to do is clone the displays, both at<br>
720p and have the same thing displayed on both monitors. I have heard<br>
that Twinview sucks performance-wise. Is it possible to clone the<br>
display not using Twinview?</blockquote><div><br>I had two problems with twinview. 1) The different resolutions of my two displays were not handled the way I wanted. 2) It sucked CPU cycles like crazy.<br><br>But, you want the same resolution so that should not be an issue. And, I was using a 2.4GP4, which is just barely enough to do HD. If you are using the same resolution and have enough CPU power, go ahead and give it a try. I must admit I have not tried it since getting the AMD 5400+ machine.<br>
<br>So all that said, why would you want to have both displays active at the same time? I just restart X to switch and the only issue is that I have to have the projector not connected so that the TV gets the main display. There is a way to switch where myth is with a program that then can turn into a keystroke. I happen to have a DVI switch so that my projector can be hooked to either Myth or my HD-DVD player (there was a choice decision...) All I need to do is switch the DVI input to the DVD player and hit CTRL-ALT-BS and by the time the TV warms up, myth is there.<br>
<br>You may not have an switch in front of your projector so this may not work. But, like I say, there is a way to do this with a script that switches between displays so you do not have to use twinview. Perhaps you can search the archives from a month or two ago or perhaps some kind sole will chime in here and let us know how to do it.<br>
