screensaver with two displays

hello there...
in my xorg.conf i've got two displays.. my CRT and a TV...
what i wanna do is to activate the screensaver on only one of the screens(the TV), when im not using it for tv-out...
Is that possible with KDEs screensaver thingy?

or is that something that shuld be suggested to the developers?

Sorry, I cannot help you with that... but maybe you could be so nice to help me.

If you have a xorg.conf that is working for what you said (mon. and TV) I would be tooooooooo happy about getting a view on the important parts of xorg.conf ...

Would you post or mail it?

Thanks, Sascha
