Does someone have some links to documents which could explain how to enable that 2nd card?I disabled my onboard video in the bios first, and installed two~identical~ nVidia cards to the two PCIe slots that I have. To those I attached two monitors each. I installed the nvidia driver, and after a few minutes of diddling with Nvidia X Server Settings, all four are upand running as one continuous screen with no tearing or screen blips. I do not use nouveau.
I still did not tried nvidia drivers. I might not have real choice... but I would like to try with nouveau :) If I really can't do what i wan't, I'll switch to nvidia, which will also allow me to run 3D games (nouveau's acceleration is not really efficient IIRC).
Try playing warzone2100 or any of the other hires games spread across four monitors. Heheh, Death From Above! And yes, I can stretch a spreadsheet across all four at once. Or run separate apps in each. I love it. Ric
I must admit that I don't really see the point of having 4 screens dedicated to a single game instance. But I'm quite used to dual screen, and I know I could not go back to mono-screen configuration, especially when programming. Mono screen is ok (I mean, to be really efficient) for people doing only web browsing, or video playing. For more serious work when you have to monitor multiple things and access various things across networks.... I just can't imagine how I would do without pain.
