Hey all, I am currently looking for a quad head solution, and wonder if someone here might be able to give some advice.
The system needs 4 monitors connected to one PC (well embedded x86 system) via a PCI bus. The whole system _must_ be fan-less and it must work with linux. First of all is it possible to use directfb with more than 1 card at the same time ? And would it be possible to use for example a matrox quad head card and make a directfb frame buffer of 5120x1024 ? Currently i have a system with a VIA/S3 Twister and the performance for video playback is rather poor (not surprising since it is only a 400 MHz C3) the question is would a move to a CLE266+400MHz C3 bring more than a move to a Twister+600MHz C3? Or what about the CN400 chipset, there are some patches floating around for its hardware mpeg support, are they any good (read: usable) ?
