[mythtv-users] Starting mythfrontend on a second screen doesn't work

[Nick Ellson]

If it helps, here is my nVidia/screen sections for xorg: (The RenderAccel 
and Xvmc parts made a difference)

Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Geforce_1"
         Driver      "nvidia"
         Screen 0
         BusID       "PCI:01:00:00"
EndSection

Section "Device"
         Identifier  "GeForce_2"
         Driver      "nvidia"
         Option      "RenderAccel" "1"

         Screen 1
         BusID       "PCI:01:00:00"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier "MythTV_Screen"
         Device     "GeForce_2"
         Monitor    "Sony_Wega_HDMI"
         Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP"
         Option "XvmcUsesTextures" "True"
         DefaultDepth     24
         SubSection "Display"
                 Depth     24
         EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Desk_Screen"
         Device     "Geforce_1"
         Monitor    "ViewSonic"
         DefaultDepth     24
         SubSection "Display"
                 Depth     24
                 Modes    "1680x1050"
         EndSubSection
EndSection
