Is there a way to run 2 entirely independent Xorg instances on 2 monitors?
What I want is to have XBMC running on TV with the second available for whatever I want (including console apps).
For now I always get X running on both screens, even if I comment out everything related to "vga-" in my xorg.conf. startx – :0 doesn't work out as well.
Am I missing the point?
TIA.
