Zaphod support is a rudimentary method for creating an Xserver with
multiple screens from a single device. The Device is instantiated, with
a duplication of its resources, as many as required up to a maximum of
the number of its outputs, and each instance is attached to a Screen
and added to the ServerLayout. A Device can be bound to a selection of
outputs using a comma separated list of RandR names.
Note: in general, this is not the preferred solution! And will be
superseded by per-crtc-pixmaps in RandR-1.4.
For example, the following xorg.conf fragment creates an XServer with
two screens, one attached to the LVDS panel on the laptop, and the other
to any external output:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel0"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "ZaphodHeads" "LVDS1"
Screen 0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel1"
Driver "intel"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "ZaphodHeads" "DVI1,VGA1"
Screen 1
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Intel0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen1"
Device "Intel1"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "default"
Screen "Screen0"
Screen "Screen1"
EndSection
