Occasionally there is discussion here on how to get myth to run in a<br>
multi-seat environment, with a user login on one monitor and a separate<br>
myth login on another terminal. I've been working on such a solution.<br>
Some fine folks in Brazil have done most of the work and I've hacked up<br>
the code to patch in support for the evil nvidia binary drivers.<br>

The upside is that you can get several independent heads; even on a<br>
relatively lowly Athlon 4800+ I can watch TV on 2 heads - one at 720p<br>
and the other on a 1024x768 monitor, and have 2 user sessions going, all<br>
from 2 dual-head cards. The downside is that you lose compiz and XvMC.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>That looks very cool but a TON of work....plus how did you handle lirc? Buying a $300 PC may be the better option...or if we could find a thin client that could work with myth :( much like the Sage one.<br>
