As I was configuring xorg for our docket scroller system today I thought of a (possibly) really good application for a multi-monitor public display system: the ACD wallboard. Our docket scroller system operates as follows:
A linux box with 2 dual head nvidia video cards boots up and loads openbox window manager. 10 seconds after bootup is finished, 4 firefox sessions with 4 different profiles are loaded (in essence 4 firefox processes) using the R-kiosk addon to remove all the chrome (windowing stuff), essentially only displaying the contents of the web page. The first three are pretty standard web pages with some javascript to "scroll" the text if it is longer than 1 page. The third displays a flash animation explaining how to find your court case on the docket scrollers. This system is timed to turn the monitors into DPMS standby mode after a certain time, saving power and prolonging the life of the monitors. Where I see this being useful for sipX is that if you have a large call center or more than one ACD queue, a multiple monitor ACD wallboard display that a floor supervisor can glean realtime information from could be a great productivity booster. I have no problem sharing how to set up a multi monitor display system with xorg if anyone is interested. Just thought I'd share the wealth. I have already written up the howto in confluence wiki but have nowhere to put it other than on my intranet. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
