This discussion is related to the others about dual displays. I also have been trying to enable actions like: mplayer -display :0.1 mymovie.avi But am not interested in having a wide display or anything. I, however, have not even been able to get both displays working. I can get one or the other to work, but not both at the same time. I believe that might be a "feature" of my older GeForce3 card. When I start X I get the following warning: (WW) NVIDIA: More than one matching Device section found: SVIDEO I'd be happy if I could just switch displays without having to log-out and back in again. Perhaps via the "Configure Display" dialog which currently has "Screen 1" grayed out. I know that in Windows a few years ago I could switch over to SVideo. When I run "X :0.1" It says: Server is already active for display 0 Below is my XF86Config file. I would appreciate any help.
