Subject 114 in the FAQ lists several X "tee" and "mirror" products.
My web site has a pointer to the FAQ.

I need a way to redirect the output of an X client to several X-servers.
Only one of these should have input focus, the others should just mirror
the graphics.
There's two ways I can think of:
Modify the client to open windows on several displays. This means keeping
track of all drawing operations and redirecting them actively.
Have some kind of pseudo server in betwee that will duplicate all drawing
requests from the client and pass them on to the servers. Hard to do from
scratch though. Does something like this exist already?
Grateful for any pointers.
TIA
Christian
