    how do you run output on hdmi and lvds at the same time on ubuntu 12.0.4?
    can you run 2 applications with one of them outputting to lvds and the other to hdmi?

    Not at the moment. You can Boot android from both LVDS and HDMI (not Linux) but you cannot run 2 applications in 2 different output.

    Hi,
    you can run an hardware accelerated application in the first hdmi screen ( opengl,opengles, video) and launch a video in the second screen with udoo.
    You have to setup correctly bootargs in this way:
    hdmi + lvds
    video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24 video=mxcfb1:dev=ldb,LDB-WVGA,if=RGB666

    From commandline launch this command:

    root@udoo# cat /proc/cmdline

    In this way you can control that bootargs are correctly setted.
    Now launch a graphical application in this way:
    root@udoo# export DISPLAY=:0
    root@udoo# cd /opt/vivsamples/vdk

    root@udoo#./tutorial3_es20 & <- launch application in hdmi screen
    root@udoo# gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:///path/to/video.mp4 video-sink="mfw_v4lsink device=/dev/video17" <- launch video in lvds screen
