    Hi,

    I'd like to better know possibilities that I have when using 2 screens
    (Xinerama mode off) - it says in Thomas' site that in this case:

    Quote: "Dual head" means that the driver will set up two different screens,
    eventually with different resolutions and different color depths, on CRT1
    and CRT2. You get two independent X server sessions in (non-Xinerama) dual
    head mode, and you cannot move windows from one screen to the other.

    Can I have gnome on one screen and kde on other ? Where are settings for
    what server to run on first and what on second screen ?
    Can I run normal X desktop on one screen and media application (Freevo,
    mythtv) that can run without window manager on another (I can start it with
    xinit - but this seems to kill already running X on other screen) ?

    How to setup this ?

    Thanks in advance,

    regards,

    Robert.
