Thanks for the info<br><br>I've been using dual monitors since my gforce 4 vivo card (and had a 2nd monitor)<br><br>I've used twinmode that has done a good job with practicly everything ive used<br>(one screen has the main work area, 2nd has the 2nd has the tools and stuff<br>or 1 has the main document and 2nd has the edited notes, no switching :)<br><br>Guess I'll just have to suck it and see.<br><br>Thanks again for all the feedback<br><br>Wolfbite<br><br><b><i>Kirk Turner <gameldar@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> > Has anyone run/got more than 1 video card running at the same time<br>> and if so, was there any major hassels?<br>I used to run dual monitors off two graphics cards - there aren't any<br>major hassles because the Xorg or XFree86 config takes control. The<br>only issue I had is that my bios wouldn't remember that I wanted my<br>AGP card to be the
primary card, rather than the PCI one, so my<br>secondary screen was what I would have to use if I was working in the<br>virtual console (i.e. when rebuilding nvidia drivers after an update).<br><br>I wasn't running in xineramia (sp?) mode - but had two independent<br>desktops. Worked well for me - you just had to get used to loading the<br>application in the right screen (I believe there is some work going on<br>to allow transfering of windows between desktops.. but is a long way<br>off). Xineramia was a pain when I first tried it because my cards<br>could support the same resolution so dragging windows around (and<br>particularly because the bottom menu bar extended across both screens)<br> would do funny things to my eyes.<br><br>But now I'm back to one screen - and I think I get more work done<br>because my email isn't always available to read :) But for working<br>from a reference in a browser in whatever I'm doing (ie code examples)<br>- two screens was
great.<br><br>Kirk<br>_______________________________________________<br>PLUG discussion list: plug@plug.org.au<br>http://www.plug.org.au/mailman/listinfo/plug<br>Committee e-mail: committee@plug.linux.org.au<br></blockquote><br><p>
