Second Screen for Wobbling

Dear Spinlanders,

Our instruments are placed in a 70cm deep ditch due to the
availabe room heights. One of the consequences is, that sitting
near the magnet and tuning the probe head, one can not observe
the wobble curve on the operator screen. We have thus to use a
second video screen which is located in the ditch near the magnet.

For two of our SGI-installations we had bought rather expensive
video splitters to drive the second screen. With our new 700 MHz
system with a LINUX (Red Hat 7.1) PC and a Matrox G450
graphical card, we learned, that this card has two graphical ports,
thus an additional screen could, in principle, be driven without
additional costs.

The question is only how to tell the system what it should do.
There is a configuration file XF86Config-4 and we use a pixel size of
1280x1024 with 8 bit color depth.

Does anybody know, which scripts have and how to be changed or
has anybody performed already this task with the operating system
described above? Will this work under XWINNMR control?

Any help will be appreciated
