You start mythtv like this from the CRT: xset s off xset -dpms export DISPLAY=:0.1 mythfrontend I've done that before :-) I'm just about to try this again, but I'm almost positive it didn't work last time because lirc sends the key presses to which ever window has focus at the time. So if my browser has focus on the CRT, even though mythfrontend is running on the TV, any remote key presses go straight to the browser.

[mythtv-users] MX4000 Dual X Servers - Config Help please :-)
Hello List, This is my first post, but been reading for months now. I have a Nvidia MX 4000 with 1 * vga and 1 * S-Video. Now I can set these up pretty easily as an extended desktop, but what I really wanted to do was set these screens up as two seperate X displays. One powering my local monitor sometimes running mythfrontend sometimes not, and one powering a remote tv always running mythfrontend. I believe to do this I'll need to run two seperate X servers because otherwise none of the key presses would get sent to myth (if only lirc talked directly to mythfrontend and not via the keyboard.. but anway!). I've tried various configurations over the past couple of weeks (had problems mailing the list, kept getting bounces from snow something mail server, but thanks to Steve Adeff I have a shiny new googlemail account to email from) 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 Any info I seem to find appears to be outdated as well :-( Thanks for your time, Steve Daniels ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
