TV-Out and LCD running separate X-Servers?

jrcamp · 09-13-04, 03:08 PM

Is it possible to run one X-Server and have it display to the TV, and run another and have it displayed to a monitor?

I've tried setting up 2 ServerLayouts and putting ConnectedMonitor "TV" in one and ConnectedMonitor "DFP" for the other and starting them seperate. But the TV seems to like to mirror what I do.

Idealling I'd like to be able to ALT-F7 and that'd be my local display, then ALT-F8 over to what's running on the TV. But the main thing is to have them both running separate instances of X.

Any ideas?

Much appreciated,

Jay
