[Gllug] Dual monitor setup

[Dylan]

Hi All,

I would like to achieve the following: I have two screens, an LCD TV and a 
standard monitor. Both have vga and hdmi/dvi connections. Ideally, I'd like 
to have two users, one of which always uses the TV (for watching streamed TV 
or media players), and the other which normally uses the monitor for email, 
browsing, etc, but can optionally use the TV for graphics work etc. I 
particularly want to achieve this with only one machine - there's physical 
space and electricity consumption to consider.

Anything to do with X, beyond setting the correct resolution for the screen, 
or working out the capability of the cards is baffling at the moment, so I 
suppose that I first need to know if it is possible at all.

Does anyone have any advice, comments or reccommendations for clear, 
introductory, documentation or suitable hardware?

Thanks for any help
