Hi all, I'm thinking it would be nice to program with multi monitors. In particular, one running VMWare and Windows so I can test the web app programs I develop. Currently I use two boxes to achieve this. But the constant twisting and turning isn't probably the best, yes age catches up with us all. However, I prefer Linux as a programming environment (especially seeing that I do SQL development too (love that middle click copy/paste)), but was wondering if it (Core 5) easily supports multi display and the nvidia nView stuff, or is that a Windows only thing? Perhaps someone can make a recommendation on cards etc? Any help or comments would be appreciated... Was thinking of getting this card, http://tw.giga-byte.com/Products/VGA/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2235 a solid performer, but not excessive... This was the blurb on the nvidia site about nView http://www.nvidia.com/object/feature_nview.html
nview is a windoze thing. any videocard with an nvidia GPU and two display device connectors can do xinerama and/or twinview with the nvidia X driver. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L. Friedman netllama@xxxxxxxxx LlamaLand http://netllama.linux-sxs.org
