Basicly, i have two screens, one of them is just for tv-out, the other is not used, ever. It has a monitor connected,but not turned on.

Now, what happens is that sometimes the computer crashes, so i would like a tail -F /var/log/everything/current on the screen.

So, is there a way i can have X running on one output(doesn't have to capture ANY input at all, no mouse, no kb. And one displaying(and interacting) in normal VT's.

I currently have everything logged to TTY12, but i can't have it selected while in X.

Any solution?

Sincerely
Tobias.
