Thanks for the tip John! Hearing that you had this working got me thinking about a web page I found earlier, but never finished reading through...this was the one:
http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/ The bottom of that page leads to this link for a patched xorg rpm for FC3: ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/jan_kasprzak/xorg-dualhead/ I installed that and followed the examples given in the README and gdm.conf on the above link, and I'm up with mythtv running on one display while I type on my desktop using another X display! Sweet! For some reason, one of the X servers runnig is pegging my CPU at 97% though. Not sure why that is, but I'll live with it for now unless anyone has a solution. Just wanted to get this email out so it was searchable in the archives. Sorry I couldn't respond to the real thread - I subscribed in digest mode without thinking about it :(. Thanks again!
