I wanted to get 3 screen working like one single screen. No chance with nouveau. What you could do (I hope you guys don't kill me :)): If your displays got displayport use an AMD card with eyefinity. If your displays dont have displayport you need to buy 4x active dvi->displyport adapters :/ Regards, Felix Am Tue, 26 Oct 2010 00:10:32 -0400 schrieb Younes Manton : > On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 9:44 PM, DJ Delorie wrote: > > > > Grrr. =A0Can the nouveau driver grab two cards at a time and tell the > > X server it's one card? > = > No. It would be pretty tricky to do, especially with different chip > versions and generations, but even with identical cards it's probably > a fair bit of effort that would be better spent on proper X server > support.
