[XFree86] Multihead monitor maximum limit
Hi all, I wonder how many VGA adapter that XFree86 server can handle to use multi head monitor? I've already tried 4 and it work!.. I wanna try more than 4 but my motherboard only have 4 PCI :((. I see on the website there is industrial PC backplane which has 18 PCI, is it possible if I use all 18 PCI with 18 VGA cards? Does anyone have tried this? FYI, windows 2000 can support until 10 VGA and windows 98 until 8 VGA Best Regards, -Widi- Inalix, PTJl.

The define for this is in xc/programs/Xserver/include/misc.h and look for MAXSCREENS. Different drivers etc may or may not work though. Certainly a good percentage of drivers have never been tested with that many heads. Alan. ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Now, does one really need the high resolution. Typically the bigger the display gets the further away one goes. A lower resolution doesn't matter then.
