Many display cards have alternative outputs of this nature, but they output the same signal on both. To see if your card is capable of more, run X -configure and look at the output file. If it can produce more than one display, the file will start something like this: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "XFree86 Configured" Screen 0 "screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "screen1" RightOf "screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers. --alTGMKZKEXf64S3V Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEpLZaIubykFB6QiMRAvnEAJ9N77T7oaMYH12socVet9P4f6wSOQCglPCZ 0TDhWyed6mX60fONTqt2cCM= =UFJl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --alTGMKZKEXf64S3V--
