Hi Maxim,
Thnx, using the pbuffer config makes sense. Do I still need to configure
the X server to use the second GPU? When running eqServer with
2-pipe.2D.PBuffer.eqc eqPly still exits with this error (and hence
eqServer is quit):
"OS Pipe initialization failed: Can't open display: :0.1"
On what platform are you btw? Eventually I want to use Windows (now
using Kubuntu for testing).
thanks
Raymond
