[mythtv-users] Running two X servers (with PVR350) at the same time?

Hello,
I'm a long time linux user, but new to mythtv. After following Jarod's great
guide, and using the archives of this list, I have mythtv up and running!
I've got a FC3 system with a PVR350 and an old voodoo3 card in it. I'd like to
run two X servers at the same time - one on the voodoo3 for my desktop work,
and obviously mythtv on the PVR350. I've got my xorg.conf setup with two
two ServerLayout sections, and I modified gdm.conf to connect to both X
servers. All of this works fine, *but*, it seems I can only use one of the
X servers at a time. If I Ctrl-Alt-F8 over to my desktop X display running
on my voodoo3, mythtv stops running on my PVR350. If I Ctrl-Alt-F7 back, to
make my PVR350 X display work, mythtv works fine, but I obviously then can
not use my desktop display.
So...any ideas? I'm thinking there must be other people out there who use
the same system for mythtv and desktop work? I read one post from the
archives indicating that only one X server can be active at a time, but the
post was rather old, so I don't know if this is still the case or not. Let me
know if you want to see my xorg.conf or gdm.conf, or anything else!
One other thing - when I log in on the voodoo3 display, I get a bunch of
gnome errors about the gnome-settings-daemon quiting unexpectedly. Any ideas
on that? I am trying to run gnome on my voodoo3 display, and I have
Windowmaker running on the PVR350 display.
Thanks!
Mike
