Thomas,

    Here's my xorg.conf file, hope it works for you...  The way I have
it set up there are 2 seperate desktops, one on the TV and one on the
monitor.  In order to run myth open up a terminal window and type the
following to 2 commands "export DISPLAY=:0.1" and then "mythfrontend
&" this will fire myth up on the TV and let you keep using the monitor
for work...

Chris
