Hi,

> nouveau.
I have 3 Screens working with one desktop here:
HDMI ----------------------- Monitor1
|
8400 card -|
| DVI-- Monitor2
DVI ---- TripleHead2Go-|
DVI-- Monitor3
You just need a Matrox TripleHead2Go. To use 4 screens you'd need two of them.
Nouveau works, but currently the xinerama-info can not be tweaked. That means
my KDE doesn't know about the 3 screens and pops up windows in between. I've
read that it can be tweaked with a custom libxinerama but I haven't looked
into it yet.
So I'm currently still running the Nvidia blob.
Just as note: I'm not using xinerama, but 1 big screen on one card.
Nonetheless xinerama information is used to tell the desktop about the screens
in use.
Kind regards,
Gerd
