It depends on what you need to do, but if you don't worry about Xinerama and just set the monitors up as separate X11 screens then you can have 3D acceleration across them all. The only downside with this is that you can't drag windows between screens (which is what Xinerama was created to solve.) The nVidia driver can combine multiple monitors into a single X11 screen though, so you could use that to get 3D acceleration across screens, but I suspect this is on a per-GPU basis. Still, with two GPUs you could have two 3D accelerated X11 screens, with one screen being split across two monitors... > Is it possible to use xrandr in this configuration?

I'm probably wrong, but I always thought xrandr was for adjusting screen resolution and settings, I didn't think it had anything to do with combining multiple screens into a single display. Perhaps it has advanced since I first used it... Cheers, Adam. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
