Hi, I work in a VIS group at Purdue University, however I am just a lowly sysadmin with not much VIS experience. I currently have a 3x2 LCD tiled wall display each with its own PC (6 tiles, 6 pcs), and no "head node". This set-up is currently a development setup and will eventually migrate to our 4x3 (12 tile wall) with much better hardware. Among several other things I have been tasked to do; one is basically try to make a tiled wall work using EQ. I have the 6 machines dual booting in Windows and Fedora10. I also have successfully compiled EQ on all 6 machines in both OS's. I can run EqPly on them all as well.
I have found much of the help here very useful, till I got to where I needed to start making config files. I am no coder, and I am finding the syntax hard to grasp and haven't found anywhere that explains it well. I have sifted through the example configs, but it just doesn't jump out at me. I guess what I would like to know is... which of the config examples would be a good one to start from to get say... EqPly running across all 6 screens? Is that possible? Another thing I am having a hard time finding info on is how to get EQ to fire on the other 5 nodes. For example on the linux side, I assume it SSH connects to the other nodes and tells them to run what they need to run in order to display what they are gonna display. about 75% of what I read on the website looks like a foreign language to me :) I could go into how I (a non VIS expert and a non-coder) got put on this project, but that is beside the point, and I doubt ya'll have a day to read about that one :) I think that is all for now, I am sure I will have several more questions down the road, but lets start here for now... -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Newbie-here%2C-be-nice-please-%3A%29-tp2235067p2235067.html Sent from the Equalizer - Parallel Rendering mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ eq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.equalizergraphics.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/eq-dev http://www.equalizergraphics.com
