AW: Multi X dualhead video card

[Unger R. <ric...@te...>]

Hi!

AFAIK running multihead using a single dual-head gfx card can only be =
done 2 ways:

1) Using the Matrox "Dual Frambuffer Mode" -> The Matrox Framebuffer =
driver supposedly (I don't have a card to test this) supports starting 2 =
seperately addressable framebuffers on a Matrox Dual Head card (G450 or =
G550). Then 2 X instances can be started on the 2 heads using the fbdev =
driver for each.
After that you can follow any of the usual methods: just X with evdev =
for input or the backstreet ruby patch for multiple independant =
consoles.

2) You can configure a normal single X Server to serve both screens as =
:0.0 and :0.1. Then you run Xephyr or Xnest within the first Xserver to =
display independant logins for each screen.

See: http://www.c3sl.ufpr.br/multiterminal/index-en.php for more infos.
