X Dual Screen Question
Hey folks,
I want to make a Linux media centre, which will play DVD’s and video files. If I have an X windows session set up to run on my TV is it possible to run an application on that session from within a SSH terminal? i.e. so I can play movies on the TV remotely. Thanks Dan |
I'm a little confused by the question... but i tihnk i see what you're asking...
you have 2 displays (dual head or 2 vid cards, doesn't matter)... and you want to control one from the other. you have a monitor with display :0.0 and a tv with display :0.1 open a bash shell on :0.0 and type bash$ export DISPLAY=:0.1 this sets the environmental DISPLAY varible to the TV... any apps you run from this shell should open on that display. If this isn't what your asking let me know... |
Hi,
That's excellent thanks, yet another seemingly complicated procedure simplified by a quick line of code! Dan |
