Hi,
I've got a question concerning xorg-xserver and twinview mode (crt and
tv) on an nvidia gforce 6200.
Up to now I have the following configuration:
xorg.conf:
<snip>
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "NVIDIA Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 TurboCache]"
Monitor "ECOMO 750"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT, TV"
Option "HorizSync" "CRT-0: 30-121; TV-0: 30-50"
Option "VertRefresh" "CRT-0: 50-160; TV-0: 60"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30-50"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
Option "MetaModes" "CRT-0: 1600x1200, TV-0: 800x600; CRT-0:
1280x1024, TV-0: 800x600;"
Option "TVStandard" "PAL-B"
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
</snip>
In order to play a video on the tv set I now have to call mplayer in the
following way:
mplayer -xineramascreen 0 -stop-xscreensaver -ontop -geometry 1600:0 \
-noborder -autosync 1 -x 790 -y 570 "$1"
Works ok. But I want to know if the following situation is possible:
I want to start a separate xserver for the TV set only when I need it
(and of course to be able to switch it off accordingly). The important
thing is that this xserver _may not_ influence my xserver for the crt.
Any help is highly appreciated.
TIA
Dieter
