this should send mythtv both displays, one at a time and then you can
hardcode that value into a startup script.

Thanks Yan. That sounds easy enough.<br>
When I do the above, I receive:<br>
"mythfrontend: cannot connect to X server localhost:0"<br>
<br>
I tried the local host's name and it's IP address with the same result.
Do I need to install something in the xorg.conf? Or maybe a
modification elsewhere?<br>
<br>
(Obviously, I am not familar with mythtv and X server errors) <br>

My next problem is to find out how to display MythTV output on the TV.
The only option that I found in mplayer to do this was xinerama. But,
when I set this to ON in xorg.conf and restart x I get an error that
RANDR crashed.
<br>
<br>
First of all, I don't know if this is the right or wrong way to push
MythTV output to the second monitor (TV).
<br>
Or, if there is a better way.
<br>
<br>
Anyone?
