Hi There
I have three questions on the same subject.
Software: FreeBSD 10.0 for AMD64
Hardware:
Recently I came across a lot of 30 17" LCD monitors (just a single $1.00 each). My plan is to build a video-wall with 8 monitors.
I have two GeForce dual-head video cards (PCIex16), for a total of 4 video monitors. After a lot of struggle, I managed to activate three of those monitors with a static xorg.conf file. After duplicating the same configuration from the first card for the second card, I only managed to have three monitors used by Xorg. I found a post on the internet stating that the nvidia driver is limited, for some unknown reason, to three monitors. If this is a fact, is there anyway that I can successfully use all the four ports at the same time? I have another desktop running Windows 7 where I can successfully use four monitors attached to two GeForce dual-head video cards.
