Hans Does it have to be linux? I have 5 contiguous 1400x1050 x x x x x giving 7000x1050 in Winxp, if you are using GEM windows might be a solution

The idea is to have 10 contiguous screens all in a line show one Gem space. They can show up on the computer as contiguous or separate screens, that doesn't matter, I can handle the difference in Gem. I think it might be easier to have them show up as separate screens. I can break it up across multiple computers if that's easier, I'm mostly trying to reduce the expense. I am just showing images, so not heavy on the CPU/GPU. .hc On Jun 3, 2010, at 4:37 PM, cyrille henry wrote: > hello, > > with things like doublehead2go, or triplehead2go : > http://www.matrox.com/graphics/fr/products/gxm/th2go/ > you can easily have lot's of screen on 1 computer. > (downside is that the screen are only horizontal) > > i made a 6 screen installation with a 400€ desktop having good > performance. > (GPU was a NVIDIA 9600 or something : only use nvidia gpu on linux > if you need good performance and are not afraid of proprietary > driver). > > but what is the resolution of the screen? > to have a screen disposition like this : > x x x > x x x > is less a problem than like this : > x x x x x x > The size of openGL windows is hardware limited. usually 4096x4096, > but can go up to 8192x8192 with GPU having lot's of memory (go for > 1go video Ram). > > cyrille > > Le 03/06/2010 19:23, Hans-Christoph Steiner a écrit : >> >> I am looking into doing a 10 screen installation using Pd/Gem.
