Hi,

I have installed two graphiccards (g1, g2) in my computer and attached
two monitors (m1, m2). Is it possible to set up the X-server so that I
can chose (e.g. via keyboard) which combination:
1. g1+m1
2. g2+m2
3. g1+m1 and g2+m2
is active? Ideally it should work similar to the external output of a
laptop. Background: One monitor is placed on my desktop whereas the
second one is located at my keyboards (music). Normally, I only need
either situation 1. or 2, i.e. not both graphiccards/monitors powered on.

Many thanks in advance,
Matthias Moeller
