Just like that.
I do exactly that - I have an NVidia Geforce2 (twinview, two CRTs) and a PVR-350 using svideo out to a TV. I run two separate X sessions at once on different VTs in xorg7. If you are using the mpeg output of the PVR card, you can use the normal display x session at the same time as the TV, including controlling it with the remote. If you use framebuffer (ie, the menus), you will find that the screen does not update unless it is the currently selected VT, so you need to switch to it to use the fb menus (and the primary display on the CRTS goes away during that). There is a feature of xorg7 that allows multiple screens to be enabled at the same time. Sharevts, I believe. It works, both screens are active and work at the same time. However, it eats up about 100% of CPU time, so you can't really use the PC for anything. Solutions to that problem are welcome, but I just wanted to give you a heads-up on what to expect when you try it - Jeff _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
