well... i CAN move windows between the screens, even have windows half on one screen and half on the other (wich may be useful in some rare cases).
i use nvidia settings, configure the second monitor to "twinscreen". graphics card: MSI GeForce 6600, 256 MB, two QXGA monitors (2048x1536). so i wonder why it should not work in christians setup... the only annoyance is that kaffeine would show up in double width so the picture is totally distorted. the only workaround: start kaffeine *before* switching to twinscreen... for watching the output on a pal screen, i connect an old tv set to the camcorder (analogue, 3 plugs) and set cinelerra graphics driver to "ieee 1394" (firewire). sure this this chain of devices may seem a bit cumbersome. also, as soon as the framerate drops below 25fps, the picture looks buggy. so the material must be rendered before this method makes sense. actually i think a professional pipeline needs a for reference tv screen. however the graphics card supports only two devices at a time. and i never had the time to test with a second card. cheers georg > Cinelerra works fine with 'normal' dual head setup and not xinerama. > That is, one Xserver driving 2 (or more) independent displays. > Advantages disadvantages: > + Displays can have very diffrent resolutions/color depths > + Almost all window managers handle it right > - You cant move windows between the screens > - Windows can't span screens > > > Configured is it somewhat like following (xorg.conf): > > Section "ServerLayout" > Identifier "Default Layout" > Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 > Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" > InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" > InputDevice "Configured Mouse" > EndSection > > Section "ServerFlags" > Option "Xinerama" "0" > EndSection > > Section "Monitor" > Identifier "Monitor0" > VendorName "Unknown" > ModelName "Iiyama PLB2403WS" > HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0 > VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0 > EndSection > > Section "Monitor" > Identifier "Monitor1" > VendorName "Unknown" > ModelName "IQT L19T" > HorizSync 31.0 - 79.0 > VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 > EndSection > > Section "Device" > Identifier "Videocard0" > Driver "nvidia" > VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" > BoardName "GeForce 7300 GS" > BusID "PCI:2:0:0" > Screen 0 > EndSection > > Section "Device" > Identifier "Videocard1" > Driver "nvidia" > VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation" > BoardName "GeForce 7300 GS" > BusID "PCI:2:0:0" > Screen 1 > EndSection > > Section "Screen" > Identifier "Screen0" > Device "Videocard0" > Monitor "Monitor0" > DefaultDepth 24 > Option "TwinView" "0" > Option "metamodes" "DFP: 1920x1200 +0+0" > EndSection > > Section "Screen" > Identifier "Screen1" > Device "Videocard1" > Monitor "Monitor1" > DefaultDepth 24 > Option "TwinView" "0" > Option "metamodes" "CRT: nvidia-auto-select +0+0" > EndSection > > Note that I used the the nvidia tool to set this up, but should be > doable manually with other cards as well. > > After that you go to cinelerras preferences and change "Display for > Compositor" to ":0.1" .. that is server 0, screen 1, restart cin and it > should work. > > Alternatively it might be possible to start 2 xservers, but likely a > waste of resources and not much easier to setup.
