It will be to display terminals/rarely-changing web pages only. ATI FirePro 2460 512MB DDR3 4x Mini-DisplayPort Low Profile PCI-Express Video Card ~$240 from Amazon. Back when I looked this was the only game in town that allowed 4 DP or 4 (single-link) DVI. The price is pretty much a rip-off, but what can you do when there aren't any cheaper choices? One caveat if you ever want to put higher res monitors on this, the virtual framebuffer on that card is only 8k x 8k. You can only put 3 2560x1440 monitors on it horizontally (or 2 4k monitors). -wolfgang -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Good Fedora-compatible multi-monitor video card recommendation
Hi all, What would be a good (as in, relatively painless) video card for driving as many 1080p monitors as possible? I'm not concerned about 3D performance at all... It will be to display terminals/rarely-changing web pages only. I know Matrox sort of specializes in multi-monitor setups, but I can't say I've heard them recommended much. Fedora 20, fwiw.

It will be to display terminals/rarely-changing web pages only. I know Matrox sort of specializes in multi-monitor setups, but I can't say I've heard them recommended much. I'm currently running four big monitors on an ATI Radeon HD, so if you can fit three of those cards into a box, that 's 12 monitors right off the bat, and you could probably add some DP splitters to get more. I've tried a matrox card. In theory, it can drive up to 12 monitors with four triple-head-to-go adapters, but it had some driver issues that kept me from using it (mostly dealing with vlc and youtube) and they didn't officially (or actually, when I reported bugs) support the version of Fedora I was running anyway. But, if they happen to support the version of the kernel you're running, and you don't need 3D or video, they're a good choice, although multiple HD cards would probably be cheaper. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

You're the 3rd person to recommend looking at ATI, so I will do that.
