Works fine. We have a 3x3 display wall running RH9 on the supporting machines. AG on DMX seems to have all the horsepower and performance necessary. The individual machines are 2.8GHz Xeon CPUs with dual-head NVIDIA Quadro FX 1000 cards. Some of the machines run two displays, some run one. Doesn's seem to make any difference.
The one thing that I haven't tried yet is getting the appropriate GL hooks integrated into the wxGTK library so that I can try the VP on chromium. -randy At 08:05 AM 9/27/2004, sh...@ni.aist.go.jp wrote: >Hi all, > >From: "Ivan R.
