Morning All,

I have a Ubuntu 5.10 install which as some people know is a mythtv
install, and it's this system I have questions about X and the like.

The X session uses the default stuff, but I was thinking (and this is
where I need some help in regards to the idea).

I know you can configure another X session to use a different function
key, so basically I would be running two X sessions on different
function keys to swap between them. But what I am curious about is can
the 2nd X session be configured to use say my svideo out port and
output its display on the screen under its new function key shortcut,
as well as to the svideo port for my tv.

I dont really want to have my primary X session out on the Tv, so I
thought maybe create another X session and then have it mirror to the
Tv via the svideo port. That way mythfrontend can run on that other X
session and mirror to the Tv, and I can still use the main X session
for other stuff.

Can anyone confirm if what I want to do will work? I know I can create
another X session, but just not sure about the finer details in
regards to the svideo etc.

I have an FX5200 Nvidia btw.

Thanks
