Re: Is it possible to extended the display, not a mirror, from a single headed graphics card?

Hi ,

I think this is what i want. still i am elborating the objective in
detail

In the past I have run two monitors with each plugged into a video
card, where each card had only one VGA port. Each monitor was
displaying part of the desktop.



u can see the spanned display by using xinerama in multi-headed
graphics card.

Primary display in one monitor and secondary display in second
monitor.

Part of display is showing in primary(First head) and anonther part is
in secondary(second head).

I have two pc's which is connected in network. Each is having single
head graphics card.

In my primary display, i want to appear like my graphics card is
having two head, like virtual head.

So that i can capture the secondary display and send it to another pc
over network like VNC.

Extending the primary display over the network as Xdmx does.


Plz suggest me a solution

cheers!

What do you want? Do you want to run two monitor (showing different
things) from a single video card with a single VGA port?

In the past I have run two monitors with each plugged into a video
card, where each card had only one VGA port. Each monitor was
displaying part of the desktop.

I don't want to use Xdmx for this. What i want is that i would like to
access the extended display area.

Xinerama may be solution for this because it is supporting extended
display(spanning the display) with multi head graphics card.

I was using Xinerama.

Plz suggest me a solution.

Thanks in advance,
selva.
