also, ive had 3 myth frontends running on my netbook at the same time, that was a trip. do: ctrl+alt+f2 login, then xinit -- :1 then in the shell that pops up you want to do xhost +(ipaddy of a mythfrontend box) then ssh -X (same ip as above) then export DISPLAY=(LOCAL-ip-addy):1 then startx or startkde or whatever replace :1 with :2 for a third screen then run mythfrontend on all desktops you now have 3 frontends on ctrl+alt+f7,f8, and f9 enjoy ;)
my setup has my desktop as the backend with a frontend & remote for when i watch tv in bed on my lcd & it streams to another frontend dedicated to my tv.
ive had pip on the tv while watching videos on the backend/frontend and on a third frontend that i installed on my netbook & then just to push the limits, i went to mythweb on all three systems & watched other recorded programs streaming from mythweb simultaneously with all the other stuff going on ;)
Where do you show that the small TV has MythTV? I know this can work no problem, but just saying, others might doubt it since you don't pause the smaller TV.
Great job, how is this done? what hardware is needed? steps please !!!!

Note to self: Starting the second X session on the PCI radeon card:
X :1 -layout Layout2 vt08 -isolateDevice PCI:2:2:0
And getting mythfrontend to go on the second display (and listen on another port for network control):
DISPLAY=:1 mythfrontend -O NetworkControlPort=6547
