My two cents : I agree that this setup (with 2 screens) isn't useless at all! I had the same setup a few years ago, when PA didn't exist, very nice. Someone could watch a movie on the TV while I was working on the other screen. But I thought that the multiple screen feature has been removed from X a while ago? Has it been readded? Anyway, I'm offtopic, so ignore me if you must ;) Regards JK 2009/10/26 Leszek Koltunski <leszek at koltunski.pl> > > > > > Yepp, and I'd argue the non-xinerama setup is useless. > (...) > > I long had a feeling that I am being a pest with my dual screen, no-one > seems to like it :) Least of all the people in the Gnome mailinglist... > > 1) Think about this usercase (that I already wrote about before): > > - a monitor and a soundcard 1 > - a TV, standing in another room, soundcard 2 > - bluetooth mouse & keyboard. > > Connect the TV to your nvidia TV-out; fire up 'nvidia-settings'; setup > the TV.
