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 Any info I seem to find appears to be outdated as well :-(


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.


Hmm, I'm not sure that'll work, justs looks like a standard dual screen config to me.

Don't know what you mean. It does work for me TV on the right and Monitor on the left. Isn't that what you want?

Thanks for the input Brad - but I want the displays to be entirely seperate like a multi-seat system. Otherwise if I'm surfing the web on the vga screen, when someone try's to use the remote to change the channel or something on the frontend on the s-vid their keypresses will come through to the web browser because it has focus, and not to mythfrontend :-(

Not on my setup. Two separate desktops.
You start mythtv like this from the CRT:

xset s off
xset -dpms
export DISPLAY=:0.1
mythfrontend



I'm giving up on this, slinging this box in the loft as a dedicated server and not going to try running a desktop off of it as well as a full time mythfrontend.

I just wish winmyth/dsmyth would work with .18.1-fixes the only time I've had dsmyth working and i've been able to play files by clicking on the in mythweb was when the BE was a knoppmyth box.

I'll leave that to another post perhaps!

Thanks for your time

Steve
