[Gllug] one head in each room...

Hi all,
	I am running a dual head system - I'm using twinview at the moment but 
could change that if I need to.

The second head is TV-out and is mainly viewed in another room (via a 
cheapo microwave av link) for watching mythtv.

I currently have a small tv next to my PC as well - I don't really need 
the second screen here - I just need to see what happens when I press keys !

What I'd really like is to put the small TV back in the bedroom and 
display the content of that second head in a window on my main display.

I've tried using krdc to connect to this machine but it doesn't seem to 
understand the twinview setup...

In any case it seems like overkill and likely to cause problems when 
video is playing.

All I really need is a way to grab the part of the display on the second 
head and redisplay it 800 pixels to the left where it should be visible 
on my main screen.

Does anyone know how I might do this ?

thanks in advance for any help.
