4. Technical Description
Typical X servers provide multi-head support for multiple displays
attached to the same machine. When Xinerama is in use, these multiple
displays are presented to the user as a single unified screen.
Xdmx is a proxy X server that provides multi-head support for multiple
displays attached to different machines (each of which is running a
typical X server). When Xinerama is used with Xdmx, the multiple
displays on multiple machines are presented to the user as a single
unified screen.
A simple application for Xdmx would be to provide multi-head support
using two desktop machines, each of which has a single display device
attached to it.
A complex application for Xdmx would be to unify a 4 by 4 grid of
1280x1024 displays (each attached to one of 16 computers) into a
unified 5120x4096 display.
This case announces the inclusion of the Xdmx server, configuration
tools, and client libraries for protocol 2.3, libdmx 1.1.0
