[mythtv-users] Woah there, little doggie ...

[Drew Whittle]

I run Myth on a dual screen setup, works perfectly with my setup.

I have noticed that there is a Xinerama option in the setup, but I've
never used it.

I don't use Xinerama, I prefer two distinct desktops with the same
keyboard/mouse. (You can set this up by not enabling Xinerama but having
both monitors etc defined in your XF config file.)

I'm actually planning on splitting it even further and running an X
server for each head, that way the TV one is auto logged in and not
affected by the "workstation" head.

:D
