(This is a repost, but with link to source + binary this time). I'm using CygWin XFree86 with a dual monitor setup and a single monitor setup. In my experience there are, not surprisingly, more problems with the dual monitor setup.
This made me think a bit about how multi-monitor CygWin XFree86 could get more testing. Is there any interest amongst CygWin XFree86 testers/developers in a virtual device driver that will do the following? - allow adding of any number of virtual video cards. E.g. test CygWin XFree86 with 10 video cards? No problem! :-) - the video cards are "visible" indirectly by using e.g. the Accessibility->Magnifier - resolution is currently fixed at ~4000x2000x32bit, but it could be made configurable - the virtual device driver works by allocating a RAM buffer where all rendering takes place. Windows does all the rendering and it seems to be feature complete. OpenGL works, though I wouldn't hold my breath for DirectX apps. The source code is currently collecting dust, and I'm sure I could convince the owner to contribute it to the open source community if there is enough interest.
