    Two X servers, one on hdmi and the other on vga.

    Hi

    I'm trying to configure xorg.conf to be able to start two X servers. One (HDMI) is connected to my Panasonic PX80 television and the other (VGA) to my HP w2207 monitor.

    I want to run XBMC on the televison at the same time I can use the computer with the monitor. XBMC will be controlled by Sony Ericsson phone and the normal keyboard and mouse is used to the oter screen. Below you can see the xorg.conf I've used to test to start the second screen via HDMI (-layout hdmi). It always report "No Screens found" and the X server dies. Is what I'm trying to do possible, what am I doing wrong?

    HW
    CPU: AMD64 5050e
    Main board: ASUS M2N68-VM, built-in GeForce 7050PV

    SW
    Ubuntu Jaunty (64-bit)

    Thank you!
