[mythtv-users] Set-up problem Multiple Displays

[Patrick Archibald]

I have a Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT with a LCD monitor connected to the DVI port
and a HDTV connected to the HDMI port. Using the Nvidia set-up GUI,
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings, I set both display configurations as "Separate X
screen".  After making the Nvidia X server settings I rebooted. The system
knows by your mouse placement where to display programs. I move my mouse
pointer on to the HDTV display and start mythfrontend. I move my mouse
pointer over to the LCD monitor and start everything else. I made the mouse
visible in MythTV.
Not sure if that will work for you.

Rock on, PLA
