nvidia multiple x screen setup

[Ahriman]

Hi. I was able to set up twin view ok and it worked great. I wanted to setup MULTIPLE X SCREENS ON ONE CARD as described in app-r of the manual. I did what it says and everything seems to be set up correctly. The logo shows up on both screens and everything. But now what do I do? I can move my mouse to the other screen, but the cursor is an X. Do I have to configure which X screen the other monitor is somehow or isn't it set up correctly at all. I couldn't find any information about it online. Any help appreciated. Thanks

The way it's set up now, you don't have anything on the second screen because all that's set up is the X server, not any clients. If you do something like export DISPLAY=:0.1 ; gnome-session, you'll start up a Gnome session on display :0.1, which is the second screen. If you just want to do something like a fullscreen mplayer, put the mplayer command after the semicolon instead of gnome-session. Run these from a console, too.
