I am using xinerama. 3 monitors across 2 NVidia adpaters. Same on my |
17 |
friends system. |

One interesting thing about this configuration. On his machine he uses |
20 |
two identical 8400GS adapters. He can run glxgears and is able to move |
21 |
the gears to any screen and see the gears. He can also use the KDE |
22 |
features to look at all desktops and application using (Ctrl-F8 I |
23 |
think) or by dragging his mouse to the upper left corner. |

On my setup I use a GTX465 for screen 0 & 1 but have an NVidia 8400GS |
26 |
for screen 2. On this system I only see the gears on screen 0 & 1. On |
27 |
screen 2 I see just a black box and the FPS count skyrockets as the |
28 |
CPU/GPU aren't really doing anything so it goes through the loop very |
29 |
fast. Also, on this system the Ctrl-F8 thing mouse to the upper left |
30 |
corner don't work at all. |

I've assumed that's because I'm using two different NVidia cards. |
