- There is a program that does exactly what you want for X. It's
- called xmx. Here are some excerpts from the README file :
-
- -------------
- XMX is an X protocol multiplexor. It is a standalone utility for displaying
- an X Windows session on multiple displays. XMX takes advantage of the
- networked nature of the X Window System by tapping the communication link
- between an X client and an X server. In this way, XMX works with any
- X clients and any X servers, without the need to modify either.
