How to Set Up the SDI Output

This section describes how to set up SDI output on the linux system. There are four
methods of using the SDI output. Each are mutually exclusive–you cannot use the SDI
output in more than one mode at a time.

Clone mode: In Clone mode, the SDI output is a clone of the display output. This is
the default mode. You can switch directly to Dualview/Twinview mode while
operating the SDI output.
See "Basic SDI Setup Under Clone Mode" on page

Dualview mode (TwinView): In Dualview mode the SDI device is treated as a
regular flat panel and you can define one large desktop that extends from the display
to the SDI output. This lets you move windows between the SDI output and the
graphics (DVI) display part of the extended desktop.
See "Basic SDI Setup with X-window or under Dualview Mode" on page

X-screen mode: You can display the SDI output on an x-window. In X-screen mode
the SDI device is treated as a flat panel that gets its own X screen.
See "Basic SDI Setup with X-window or under Dualview Mode" on page
