Don't know about flat-panel, tho I don't know why it wouldn't work, but I |
| 10 |
was running my Radeon 9250 SE dual-output at 2048x3072 -- that's two |
| 11 |
2048x1536 resolution, 21" monitors, stacked on top of each other. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Of course, in that mode, it won't run 3D, but it certainly *WILL* run 3D |
| 14 |
with just a single monitor @ 2048x1536, AND it is supposed to run dual |
| 15 |
monitors in single frame-buffer 3D mode as long as the total resolution is |
| 16 |
<=2048x2048, so dual monitor 1024x768 for 2048x768, or 1024x1536, should |
| 17 |
be fine in 3D mode, with >=xorg-6.8 (which dramatically improved the xorg |
| 18 |
native Radeon drivers). |
