As far as I can tell | Linux only lets you have one VT active at any time. You can | have a different mouse and keyboard used by the console and | by X (in theory at least), but I don't think that solves the | mutual exclusivity of VTs. | | Some people may have kernel hacks to allow this sort of | thing, but I haven't been keeping track of this stuff. It's | not an area that I've been involved in. Any idea? Basically I would like to run 2 monitor, one for X and one for console paralell, with 1 keyboard/mouse. Switching between them like with one monitor, but when no work on the one, I would like to keep the signal on the unused monitor, eg I would like to see the (not blank) screen. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
