[mythtv] getting 2 distinct X displays to run simultaneously

[Mark Musone]

Just run X _without the +xinerama flag

(have the XF86config setup as if it were using xinerama)

Without using +xinerama on startup, it'll make each display a separate
screen.


So you'll have a display of localhost:0.0 for the first one,
And localhost:0.1 for the second.

That's what I have setup now..it's great.it seperates the monitors but I
only
Need to run one X server...

Hello all,
  I have set up my box running mythtv.  I have my primary video
(geforce3 agp 
w/ tv out) feeding my tv, while i have a second pci card running a
monitor so 
the machine is dual purpose.  Right now, I have it set up with xinerama.
I 
want it set up so that the display on the tv is a distinct, always
running 
copy of X for mythtv.  I can get 2 separate displays, but I need to
switch 
between then (alt-f8, alt-f7), with only 1 active and displaying.  Any
ideas 
people?
