Like others have said, there are several options: 1) TwinView with a supported Nvidia card and the Nvidia closed-source drivers 2) use Xinerama with two or more physical video cards (e.g. 1 PCI-Express, 1 PCI, 1 AGP..) That said, I don't use mirrored mode on my 945GM. It's really dual-displa

Yes. I'm not interested in laptop setups. Though notebooks generally sport an external video port and these can usually be configured to mirror and are easily usable for presentations, this is not what we need. We need to display a lot of information simultaneously on all three monitors. Virtual d
