Subject: [mythtv-users] MX4000 Dual X Servers - Config Help please :-)


I think what I need is two seperate xorg.conf's and gdm.conf set up to call the properly. I'm just going down this route now, but would really appreciate some help. It'd be great if someone who has already done something like this or similair could donate their config files. I've googled till I'm blue in the face, but with people haveing so many different names for this type of configuration it's hard to find any real results. Any info I seem to find appears to be outdated as well :-(


Just googlin again and found this post:

http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2005-March/078557.html

The second one down remindinded me about the following links..

http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/

More specifically:

ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/jan_kasprzak/xorg-dualhead/

I remember checking the above's mirror and seeing out of date packages and being disheartend. But just checked the above ftp site and found they're not so out of date after all. So I'm currently downloading ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/jan_kasprzak/xorg-dualhead/xorg-x11-6.8.2-37dualhead.src.rpm which will hopefully compile to allow me to run two Xorg servers at once.

Does anyone else have experience with this?

I have the same setup: MX4000 - one output feeding a CRT at 1280 and the S-Video feeding a tv. Most of the time, the mythfrontend is running on the S-Video and I use the CRT for checking mythtv, running mythtv-setup, etc.

Only one xorg.conf:
