Multiple simultaneous FB output.

Multiple simultaneous FB output.

[niteowl]

Hi all!
Is it possible to use multiple graphic cards (i.e. a AGP G200 and a pair of 
PCI Milennium II) and to visualize multiple fremebuffers *simultaneously*?

All I want to do is to use a text console or X on the G200 (/dev/fb0) and to 
visualize some application's output on /dev/fb1 and /dev/fb2 without having 
to switch console and, above all, avoiding the system to blank consoles 
without focus.

Thanks.

Hi,

I guess you can try to 'export FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb1' and launch your 
application from an X-terminal (which should be probably using your /dev/fb0 
interface).

I'm not sure about console focus, but since they are different drivers I don't 
think there will be problems regarding console focus.
