So, it would be possible to configure all 4 monitors as parts of one = logical DISPLAY?? Just clarify: At the moment I use two dual head ATI FirePro 2270 = graphics cards. As a consequence I have two logical (dual-monitors) = DISPLAYS and the problem is that I'm not able to span a single window = across more than 2 monitors. > If possible, get a Kepler-based card, which can drive 4 CRTC's from 1 > GPU. That way you get none of the trouble. What about: Gigabyte Radeon HD7770 OC?? I know, it's OT but maybe = someone has experience. -- = Serdecznie pozdrawiam / Sincerely yours Grzegorz S=F3jka Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science Warsaw University of Technology ul.
