Howdy All -
I currently use a dual-head setup using a relatively inexpensive
nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7300 GT] card. I use the DVI and the
VGA cables at the same time, and it works just fine. I can do wobbly
windows and spinny desktops and all that jazz (yeah, I like the eye
candy, sue me).
I want to go to triple head. I am reasonably sure I can do it with
e.g. an NVidia Quadro NVS 450, but I am curious as to whether the
driver will do accelerated X? Three monitors will be nice, but not if
I lose capabilities I have now with dual.
So... anyone got any experience with triple-head or beyond? Any advice
on NVidia Quadro vs. maybe ATI's offering?
I'd love to hear any stories - good or bad - about accelerated X on
more than two monitors.
I use Ubuntu 11.10 for my desktop, but that said, I run an ATI 5770 card
in triple head mode with full acceleration (and compiz, mainly to make
Docky happy). All three run DVI with two coming from the built-in DVI
ports and the third coming from an active DisplayPort -> DVI adapter. It
took a bit of fiddling around with the Catalyst control panel to get
working right, but the only really persistent problem I've had is that
when you first log in the DisplayPort -> DVI doesn't always come up
immediately. It can take a few minutes to decide to come on. Once it
finally comes up it is fine.
