Ok, I just don't get how to create two separate screens for the same
chip which has two v-outs. As I understand, driver from nvidia hides
anything regarding second monitor from X server and presents these
two display as one screen. What do I need, is to have two screens, so
me could start window-maker on one screen for work, and watch mplayer on
the second screen. Is this possible?
Currently I had clone and other modes of twinview working, but I want a little diferent thing. Here's my current setup:
