Zdravei,
toku shto popadnah na tova v Linux Gazette:
Dear Answer Guy,
I wonder if Linux (and XFree) supports 2 or more VGA cards in the same = PC. If not, is there any
commercial XServer that can support more than 1 = VGA ? Where can I find more informations
about this issue ?
Thank you in advance for your help
The latest version of XFree (version 4.x) support "Xinerama" which includes multi-headed
support. However, I haven't tried that yet. XFree86 version 4.x will probably be included in the next
major releases of each mainstream Linux distribution; so look for it in a few months if you don't want to
try downloading, building and installing it yourself.
The two major commercial X server packages for Linux support multiple heads as well. I forget which
is which but in one of them the multi-headed support is part of the main package, in the other it is a
separate version of the package. These two X packages are:
X-inside: Xig Inc
http://www.xig.com
Metro-X:
http://www.metrolink.com
... note: I think it is the latter of these that offers multi-head support (as well as support for some touch
screens and many proprietary laptop chipsets) in their base package. I think that Xig's products are
separated among multi-head, laptop and desktop versions.
