Martin, The most I have seen is four screens on one (Windows) PC powered by two SLI graphic cards, where each card has two video outputs. To go beyond this is possible with a linux os using remote displays (DISPLAY 0:0 etc) but you don't get something for nothing. The network traffic is high and the resulting graphics are slower as the network reaches saturation even using a UDP connection. I have no idea what sort of workload it places on your host (or master) compputer if it does all the graphics processing and pushes commands on to your network, but I would suggest again that this is not the way to go. If it was, all the various IG protocols such as CIGI (see previous posting on this thread) would never have been invented.
So you have reached that crucial decision point - limit yourself to 4 displays assuming it all works or write a CIGI (for instance) interface for each node type (host and IG) and attach as many displays as you like.

The app I am currently working on requires multiple views, but is difficult to distribute across machines because of some randomness components in my graphics stuff. My simulation requires at least four projectors (or eight if necessary and possible). I am thinking about using a Nvidia Quadro Plex system http://www.nvidia.de/page/quadroplex.html. Has anyone here used heavy-duty graphics hardware to feed four or more views from one machine? What hardware setup do you use, and are you able to render reasonably complex scenes? Or can you point me in a good direction for more info?
