The only thing I have run into is that some video cards won't detect a monitor that has been hot-plugged. If you boot with two monitors attached, you will get a desktop that spans both monitors by default (at least with the Nvidia drivers). I don't know what the open source drivers do by default, or what you can convince them to do with some xorg.conf editing. Keeping the monitors the same resolution can also make configuration a bit smoother. Note that you don't actually have to edit xorg.conf, the monitors will be auto-detected *if* the cables and monitors are good enough to support DDC over the distance you want. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
