[CentOS] Monitor Dummy Device

When i do presentation i have this workflow:

I connect the beamer on my notebook so i have dualscreen. On my notebook 
screen i have all icons/windows i need. The things i want to show i move 
to the 2. desktopscreen (the beamer).

If i want to be independent of the cable-end of the beamer i do this:

i connect a second monitor to my notebook and i stream the screen of the 
2. monitor with ffmpeg / ffserver (installed on my notebook). a other 
device eg notebook, which is connect to beamer, show my stream on the 
beamer.

Very nice solution for me :). I want to extend the solution that i dont 
need a monitor connected to my notebook. I dont know how can i get a 
second desktop is useable like a dualscreen.

Greetings Joey
