Hi everybody,
For some fkind of cashier application I have to attach a second LCD monitor to a RedHat 7.2 box. You know, one screen for the operator, another one for the customer. Obviously, these displays should show different information.... :-) To demonstrate a working configuration, I have to write a little application program that displays 2 different text messages on the screens. There is no need for graphics like X etc. Somebody pointed me in the direction "use 2 framebuffers".... but sorry, I have no idea how to do that. Does anybody have an idea or pointer for me? Thank you very much, Wolf |
