[mythtv-users] Dual headed myth-tv box

[Drew Whittle]

Hi,

What I ended up doing was using a single nvidia geforce card with tv
out, I have two x servers running which keeps all the issues of missing
features on the second head out of the way.

I have one bound to ctrl-alt-f7 and the other bound to ctrl-alt-f8,
which I hit c-a-f8 it switches to the tv and my monitor goes blank.

The X server on ctrl-alt-f8 logins in automatically and starts
mythfrontend. 

There is no way using this config to have both screens active at once
without a patch to both the kernel and X, but if I'm playing with the
computer I'm not watching tv...

:D
