I'm working on a project that requires me to debug a running screen locker.
Currently, my workflow involves switching between the screen locker and virtual
console #1 (/dev/tty1) using Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-F7. This way, I can
interact with the screen locker until I hit a break point. I then return to
the first virtual terminal and step through the code.
This has been very helpful so far, but it's quite slow!
I have multiple displays, so it seems natural that I'd want to use one display
for the screen locker on F7, and one display for vim and gdb on F1.
Is this possible? Is it easy or difficult to achieve?
Simplest is to ssh from another machine. You also may be able to use
multiple video cards, but I don't think you can do what you're trying to
do with multiple monitors attached to one video card.
