Hi everyone, I need to configure a multi-monitor setup using Xinerama. I'm reading the Xinerama HOWTO in LDP right now, and it's already answered a lot of my questions.
We'll be using XFree86 4.1.0. The machine is a Celeron 400MHz that currently has one S3 Trio 3D/2X AGP video card and a number of available PCI slots. To those who are using the S3 Trio 3D/2X with Linux: how does this card perform with XFree86 4.x? Can it handle relatively good display for 1024x768 on a 15" monitor? I don't need 3D acceleration. I just hope the flicker will not make customers dizzy. ;> Alternatively I can get a relatively good PCI card to handle the "customer side" display and use the S3 Trio 3D/2X with a 14" for the "staff side" display. Would anyone know of PCI video cards that are still in the market that are relatively okay with Linux? I've got the PC Express pricelist right now and it's hard to make out which is AGP and which is PCI. In particular aside from the Trident 9750 and S3 Savage Pro's that are explicitly labelled "PCI", there are a number that simply don't have labels (no "AGP" or "PCI"). Would anyone know if the "Nvidia Riva TNT2 M64 32mb" is a PCI video card? Anyone have experience with this and Linux? (Sounds like Orly to me, hehehe). Verging on off-topic but ... thanks in advance to any input. :) --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
