So I'd recently upgraded to a 7970 from my 6970, mostly as graphics always seem to get wonky in things like secondlife, but that's really more their crap threading functions (or lack of) in the client. So far no real difference, but was hoping it would bump the framebuffer from 16384 pixels to...

Xinerama has never worked right for me trying to use it, but last time I tried I had odd paired monitors, and x really seemed to dislike that. I don't really ever consider it anymore. Interesting to know on the nvidia's, though 4 is pretty useless for gaming, 3 isn't enough (spoiled now by...

Sadly everything seems pretty variable. Hardest part is figuring out the amdcccle monitor order vs. xorg.conf, I had to draw out a mapping to make sense of it, but that was before drivers decently supported xrandr. Now it can dynamically adjust things, but I still let it rely on the xorg.conf...

I use ubuntu. I can't use unity, as it relies on compiz, and frankly compiz does nothing but implode on itself if trying to use glx. I use cairo dock as a desktop environment from the lightdm login manager, and use a compiz switch widget to disable it. Using 6 displays then is perfect, and I...
