Hi all,

I am working on a small movie player which can play full screen movie
using Xserver.  It works fine in Single Head Mode. But is I set the
Xserver in Dual Head Mode. I can't see any thing on both screens. The
Code to Init the display is shown as below:

>   display = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
>    if (display == NULL)
>     fprintf(stderr, "Can not open display\n");
>
>  if (!XMBXDHQueryExtension(display, &eventBase, &errorBase))
>   {
>     printf("XMBXDHQueryExtension failed\n");
>     exit(0);

>   {

I use tinyX as the Xserver and the xfbdev as the card for the second
screen.  After the Initialization, Both Screen as a respond. I mean both
of them have been waked up. but when I am trying to write image to the
first screen by

> XvShmPutImage(display, portNum,
>               window ,
>               gc,  ximage, 0, 0,
>               yuv_width, yuv_height, 0, 0,
>               hwidth, hheight, False);
>    XFlush(display);

I got nothing. What did I forget to do to get this work?

Many thanks.

Regards.
