I have a Radeon HD4650 with (radeon module with KMS on a Gentoo). My question is: It is possible to run multiple X servers, one on the VGA output ans one on DVI output?
I would like to run mythtv on my tv, Now mythtv is run on a standalone X server which "device" section point to my Hauppauge 350 framebuffer. But recently I got a new LCD tv and I wonder whether it is possible to run 2 separate X servers with one radeon card? I have tried to configure the Xorg server (1.7.7) but i have failed to implement this. I have managed to implement one X server with two "screen" with two different "device" section one with the monitor and one with the tv, but this is not as comfortable as the separate X screens. The problem is when I try to start the second X server then I get error message that the server cannot open /dev/dri/card0. In other words: two different "device" and "screen" section worked if they belonged to the same X server but they didn't worked if one of the screen were assigned to an another server. So although I'm sure it is technically possible, to run multiple X servers with one card, I cannot configure the X server to do this. Have anyone any suggestion or comment? P.S.: During my trials I have also noticed that the zaphodheads option on radeon is also working well with one server and two different device/screen but fetch all the input for one server if these two screens belong to 2 different servers.
