This is a bit more of a basic Linux question, so please forgive, but has specifics that are valid here. For reference, I am running ubuntu 8.10 and myth .21 from mythbuntu packages.<br><br>Basically what I want is a dual headed machine where only 1 head is active at a time. I got a nice new geforce 8400 for future use with VDAPU, and it has tv out (going to a smaller PAL tv via component) and dvi out (going to a 720p projector via hdmi converter). I want to be able to run via TV, OR run via projector. I do not care (nor want) dual outputs. <br>
<br>In the olden days (slackware 1998-ish), before gdm and the like, I'd just run "startx" from my first two terminals, and use ctrl-alt-f7 and ctrl-alt-f8 for the two x sessions. I don't want to do something that manual, but is there perhaps an easy way to tell GDM to spawn twice, with a different xorg config? Or is there a way to force the nvidia <br>
<br>I don't mind having to do a key combination (and run blind for 10 seconds if it starts in the wrong one), but don't want to be dropping to console/etc every login. I don't mind if technically it's running two x-servers as long as mythtv works, and with the correct settings for each (I guess I'd set up two different settings names in two different shortcuts?)<br>
<br>My "ideal" setup would be similar how laptops work in windows. You hit some key combinations to activate TV-Out, then another combo to disable it. <br>
