Greetings All,
I've used OpenBSD in the past to build redundant routers and
firewalls and it was fantastic, but it's been quite a few years
since I've played with it. I've also never used it as my default
workstation. Yet.
I've always used Debian GNU/Linux on my workstations in the past,
but with jessie/sid (and practically all other linux distros) the
direction the linux userspace has taken is a serious turn for the
worst IMO. I am simply philosophically at odds with systemd, and I
would like to stop relying on linux altogether if possible. My
problem is I have specific needs, and it's not clear if I can meet
them running OpenBSD. I'm hoping I can, and someone can share their
experiences with making a similar setup work.
Firstly, I'm running an i7 960 with a PCI-e ATI Radeon 7850 in a
three monitor configuration (2 direct DVI and 1 active HDMI-to-DVI
dongle) using the OpenSource Radeon linux driver @1920x1200 on each
monitor.
Hey, not 100% the same but similar setup on a workstation at work:
Radeon HD4550 using radeondrm and two 1920x1080 monitors:
DisplayPort-0 connected 1920x1080+1920+0
DVI-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0
Also have used multiple monitors on my i5-powered laptop, using its
integrated intelHD video.
I'm using enlightenment 17.6 as my window manager. I use and rely on
I use openbox myself but enlightenment 0.17.5 is an available package.
blender <http://www.blender.org> a /lot/ with hardware accelerated
OpenGL, and having three monitors is important for my graphics work.
blender is available in packages as well, though I have never used it.
Is anyone running OpenBSD with three monitors? With blender, hw-accel
OpenGL, and/or E1{7,8,9}?
I'm sure three monitors would work just as well as two :) E17 does
work, I have used it in the past. I play with OpenGL stuff quite
regularly and it is my opinion that the recent drivers for intel and
radeon video devices respectively perform roughly the same here as
they do on freebsd or linux. No formal tests have been done by
myself, strictly subjective experience.
Your thoughts, knowledge, and possibly links to more info would be
very greatly appreciated.
Thank You.
I would like to point out that I do follow current, both on my own
workstations and my work workstation :)
The FAQ on http://www.openbsd.org/ is always a good read.
Cheers!

Hey Ryan,
Thanks for the thoughtful response. The move looks promising then. I'll
definitely read the FAQ - thanks for the reminder.
RE: OpenGL:
It's great that it works, but is it taking advantage of the hw, or do
you know if it is sw only? Some posts I've read seem less positive
about that.
Anyone else have any experiences to share?
Thanks again,

I currently have three monitors connected to my laptop but if I try to
enable X on the third one I'm getting the following error:
port:fred ~> xrandr --output VGA1 --auto
xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA1
But blender 2.72 is running fine (I wish I new how to use it properly).
Output of xrandr and dmesg below if interested.
