![]() Pretty much every permutation I could think of. Also, I was trying stuff like running a single X server for the middle 2 screens and separate ones for the outer, etc. I could never get this combination to quite work that is, using xrandr to rotate some screens, different resolutions, etc. The outer ones I want in portrait mode (for surfing/email) and the inner 2 landscape (for development and the like). ![]() However, I have an additional complication in that I have 4 monitors, the middle 2 running on one card and the outer 2 on another. I tried a multitude of solutions, but none quite worked for me. I did actually give this another shot recently by doing the method of running multi X servers. I guess you can then setup up mode lines to fake nVidia TwinView to get window managers to behave properly with the merged screens connected to the TH2G.įor the Matrox hardware, the catch is that all monitors connected on the TH2G must be the same resolution. I imagine that for ATI, you could use xrandr for this step (since, as far as I know, nVidia only supports xrandr 1.1). You can then use nVidia TwinView to "merge" the two inputs (one from your regular monitor, and one really big one from the TH2G). You can then attach up to three more monitors, giving you a total of 4. The general gist of it, is that you attach one monitor normally to your graphics card, and the TH2G to the other input on the same graphics card. It defeats the purpose of having two graphics cards for the OP, but it seems to work. ![]() Over at nvnews, it seems the most desirable solution is to use a Matrox TH2G. too much out dated info out there for google to be much use on this one, in my experience). However, I'll subscribe to this and hope that new information comes up (even an ETA on when this will be supported again would be nice. AFAIK, multi-GPU support is still broken if you're not going to try and use deprecated solution like xinerama or somesuch.
