I've just come into posession of a 7" LCD touch-screen and was wondering if it was possible for the GP2X to display seperate things on the main display and TV-Out?

Or does it have some sort of hardware switch?

Since I plan on putting my GP2x in my car as a media platform it'd be handy to have the GP2X F200 main unit as more of a "controller" only since it'd be hard to see the tiny screen and view actual stuff on the 7" screen.

For the Movie Player I'm thinking that maybe I could get the video output to go through the TV-Out, then have the main unit only display the controls (Play, Pause, FF, RW etc.) with big touch-screen supported buttons (so they're easy to hit while driving).

Would be mighty cool if it was possible!
 
I think I read somewhere that the hardware may support dual screen but it is not supported with firmware/software.

The movie player would need to be re-written to add the large buttons on the first screen as well as the firmware to support dual screen if at all possible.
