[mythtv-users] Two X displays without screen blanking? (Monitor and TVout)

[Greg]

Hello, 

I was wondering if anyone knew how to stop X from blanking the screen
when switching displays. What I want to do is display one X screen on my
monitor an another display on my TV using the TV out on my GeForce3
card. I am able to do this by executing 'startx' on one console and then
'startx -- :1 -screen tvout' on another console. The second startx goes
to the TV out. Both X sessions launch no problem but I can view only one
at a time, The other screen goes blank. Is there anyway to keep both
screens visable? My main goal here is to have MythTV running on the
second display while still be able to use the computer on the first X
display. 

Below are sections of my XFree config file that show the options used to
get TVout working:
