Any other suggestions on building a triple headed system? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I was going to use a passively cool (fanless) ATI video card |
| 16 |
and drive monitor #1 and #2 off of that (one HDMI the other |
| 17 |
off the secondary port on the ATI video card. And then |
| 18 |
use the video port on the workstation mobo (ati-gigabyte) |
| 19 |
for the #3 monitor. Anyone built a gentoo system like that? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I do not need blazing graphics on #monitor2 or #monitor 3, |
| 22 |
just a normal 1080p video screen, all off of one system. |
| 23 |

| 24 |
Any other ideas (suggestions) how to best build a triple head Gentoo |
| 25 |
workstation are of keen interest... |
