Multi monitor support
b1ackmai1er:
HI,
I am interested in using TC in a signage application. Does TC support multiple monitors? i.e. can I plug in four older low power pci video cards and display output to them?
Anyone had any experience in such an application.
Thanks.

On the same subject ...
i have installed Xorg 7.5 and the graphics drivers module and restarted x windows.
How do I tell if Xorg is7.5 is running compared to Xvesa?
Thanks.
Juanito:
You could try:
--- Code: ---$ ps aux | grep Xvesa
$ ps aux | grep Xorg
--- End code ---
or look for the presence of /var/log/Xorg.0.log

For multi monitor support you will need to configure it in xorg.conf. I have had some success with 2 monitors. You will need to google this. Look for "multi-head" and "xinerama".

Cool. That's good news. Was that with 1 dual head video card or 2 individual video cards?
I thought xinerama was obsolete and xrandr2 does not support individual cards?
$ ps aux | grep Xorg
indicated that Xorg was running, however, I don't think I have driver support for my chipset:
Primary device is: pci 00@00:12:0
NV: Ignoring unsupported device 0x10de0533 at 00:00:12:0
everything after that refers to VESA
