Hey all,

I am currently looking for a quad head solution, and wonder if someone
here might be able to give some advice.

The system needs 4 monitors connected to one PC (well embedded x86
system) via a PCI bus. The whole system _must_ be fan-less and it must
work with linux. 

First of all is it possible to use directfb with more than 1 card at the
same time ? And would it be possible to use for example a matrox quad
head card and make a directfb frame buffer of 5120x1024 ? 

Currently i have a system with a VIA/S3 Twister and the performance for
video playback is rather poor (not surprising since it is only a 400 MHz
C3) the question is would a move to a CLE266+400MHz C3 bring more than a
move to a Twister+600MHz C3? Or what about the CN400 chipset, there are
some patches floating around for its hardware mpeg support, are they any
good (read: usable) ?

TIA,

Erwin Rol
