Two X servers, one for my monitor, one for my TV using s-video out from video card?
For the past week or so I've been toying around with multiple X servers and multiple "screens." I have an nVidia GeForce 5600 XT with s-video out, and have gotten it to work a second monitor without using another X server. When I say second monitor, I mean one that I'd place side-by-side with my regular computer monitor that I'd be able to drag X apps to and from. To do that, I added the following to my etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Code:
Section "Device" I'm using Slackware 10 with the default kernel and X.Org, by the way. |
....
UPDATE:
X server :0.0 runs on both my monitor and my TV using this xorg.conf file. However, like I said, I want to have a second X server running to my television so that videos can be played onto it without affecting my primary X server that I do my desktop work on. No ideas yet? ...anybody? |
Hey
did you manage to get the video working on your television? I would like to use my S-Video out on my Geforce 4 mx 4000 to link it up with my tv so that I can watch movies on the TV. Have you any idea what the xorg.conf should look like for that, or at least some helpful websites for configuring xorg.conf. thanks hamish |

That's the xorg.conf file I setup for that purpose. Enjoy! :-) |
