Re: [9fans] Multi monitor setup
is there any support to dual monitor setup? no. Can I rotate monitor in plan 9? no. How does support of video cards looks like in general? poor. see /sys/src/9/pc/vga*.c files. most of these are very old. the only realiable way to use a video card on 32- and 64-bit intel platforms is to use VESA. mischief pgprK9HML1q1d.pgp Description: PGP signature

Ok, I understeand. So, maybe it's a good idea as a gsoc proposal. Do you think that it will be hard to implement this features in nvidia cards, using nouveau project as a reference? BTW. what is a relation between inferno an Plan9. Does the hardware that is supported by plan9 also works on inferno or it's not such easy relation. BR, Szymon

But is there any less tedious way of adding multi monitor setup to plan9? Maybe it will be exciting for someone who has never had any expirience with vga drivers development(at least at the begining.). Can you recommend some materials that can allow me start with vga drivers development in general and specifically to plan9 (other than source codes)? Maybe some of you can tell me more about that? I've decided to look at plan9 becouse after a rough estimation of existing OS I find it best designed and most interesting. I don't know much about OS implementation but I think that this community can be the perfect place to start. I will certainly ask a lot of stupid questions at the beginnig but eventually you can bring up a new generation of developers :). Would you like to help me or the project doesn't need such persons like me? BR, Szymon

[9fans] Multi monitor setup
Hi, as a new to Plan 9 I would like to know is there any support to dual monitor setup? Can I rotate monitor in plan 9? How does support of video cards looks like in general? BR, Szymon
