Hello,
a little bit off topic, but I use this for my VDR box...
I have a 24" Dell LCD monitor (DVI 1920x1200) and an Infocus X1 projector (VGA 800x600) that are connected to my MSI 5950 Ultra 256 nvidia based gfx card.
Without Twinview, I use this config : http://magma.epfl.ch/greg/linux/xorg.conf-independant
But with all try I made, I wan't able to put my DVI as :0.0 it always goes to :0.1 which prevent me from using xvmc :-( Does someone know how to set it right ?
I have also tried Twinview, with this config : http://magma.epfl.ch/greg/linux/xorg.conf-twinview2 And with this, I can use xvmc perfectly on the DVI, but I can't instruct xine/mplayer/fvwm2 to use either (only) the DVI or either the VGA ???
Any hints would be greatly appreciated :-)

Removing the "Xinerama" option and now I can have fullscreen with mplayer and xine :-)
Now my only remaning issue is how to have fvwm2 being only on first screen and how to have xine fullscreen on second screen ?

If you configure two separate Displays (e.g. two Device and Screen sections) instead of TwinView, you can launch different apps explicitly to one Display only. That's the way I do it.
DISPLAY=:0.0 fvwm2 DISPLAY=:0.1 xine

Problem with this is I can't use XvMC on my DVI output, which make an hudge difference with HDTV (XvMC only works on first screen AFAIK and I didn't manage having my DVI being the first one).

Some time ago i read a trick that gave another screen than the first one the "Video Overlay" (which seems to be required for XvMC):
You have to swap the screen number in the "Device" section, i.e. set "Screen 1" in "nvidia0" and "Screen 0" in "nvidia1".
Maybe you have to remove the screen ids from your server layout after that ('Screen "screen0"' instead of 'Screen 0 "screen0"').
The order of the screens in the ServerLayout stays the same (so VGA will still be :0.0), but now DVI should have the overlay and thus work with XvMC. :-)
Works for me with a GeForce 4 Go and the internal TFT + tv out.
You can test it with:
| greywolf@matrix:~$ xvinfo | grep -A1 screen | screen #0 | Adaptor #0: "NV17 Video Texture" | -- | screen #1 | Adaptor #0: "NV17 Video Overlay"

Here I'm using TwinView, mplayer is launched with -xineramascreen and directly goes to the right screen. For those programs that doesn't have that kind of option I use the wonderfull sawfish to directly put the window in the right place and also remove the window title/border/&stuff. mplayer -geometry size_ofxscreen_1 -xineramascreen 1 blabla... for xine i also manually set the correct size and sawfish to does the rest.
That way xv extensions are present on the 2 screens, and i can also move a window from one screen to the other (with sawfish u can even do that from the command line)
Have a nice sunday.
Hello,
thank you very much for the great answer found here :-)
I have compiled sawfish, I have to find out how to only use one of my screen, and I have also to find out how to have borderless windows...
Right now, I really dislike the look it has by default, but I could certainly change this...
The best would be with ratpoison I think it don't fully support Xinerama right know, I'll ask on it's mailing list ;-)
