Hello:
At present I am running a two card - three monitor arrangement which has the
following layout:
| Monitor 0 | Monitor 1 | Monitor 3 |
This is the hardware video used:
# Cards and bus addresses output from lspci
# 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G84GL [Quadro FX 370]
(rev a1)
# 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G96GL [Quadro FX 580]
(rev a1)
The Quadro FX 370 runs Monitor 0 and Monitor 3 from each of its available DVI
ports while the
Quadro FX 580 runs Monitor 1 from the only available DVI port. the other two
ports being of the
Display Port type.
Monitors 0 and 3 are Samsung SyncMaster 940N with VGA inputs and Monitor 1 is a
Dell
P1914S with the option of using VGA, DVI or Display Port to drive it. It is
currently using the
DVI port.
I am using the Nvidia drivers with Xinerama enabled and everything works well
enough.
RandR gets disabled at boot because of Xinerama.
---
[ 61.330] (WW) NVIDIA: The Composite and Xinerama extensions are both
enabled, which
[ 61.330] (WW) NVIDIA: is an unsupported configuration. The driver will
continue
[ 61.330] (WW) NVIDIA: to load, but may behave strangely.
[ 61.330] (WW) NVIDIA: Xinerama is enabled, so RandR has likely been
disabled by the
[ 61.330] (WW) NVIDIA: X server.
---
Now I would like to hook up a fourth monitor that I have received as a gift
(brand new 15"
Philips 150S) and place it at the end of the row to run Conky and maybe a
terminal.
ie: to the right of Monitor 2.
Question:
Can this fourth monitor be run from the *same* card as Monitor 1 using one of
the Display
ports?
Or do I have to shuffle everything around?
I'd like to know if there's some sort of restiction to this beforere I start
mucking around with the
xorg.conf file.
Thanks in advance.
