Howdy All - I have Gigabyte EP43-UD3L motherboard with a single PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. It currently has a decent NVidia card - a GeForce 7300 GT. I've got two monitors attached, one via the VGA port and one via the digital video port. It works well, I get accelerated X and wobbly windows and all that silliness. Guilty pleasure: I like eye candy. I'd *really* love to do triple head - the monitor in front of me for my main work, and the two side screens for supporting stuff. I am wondering, since my motherboard has a four PCI Express x1 ports and I see PCI Express x1 video cards for decent prices, if I can either replace my single card with two identical two-port X1 cards, or just add a single X1 video card to what I already have and get triple head. Has anyone done this? Thomas
Sorry it's been so long, but I thought I'd tell you what I found. I got triple-head (three monitors) working on F17 using the ATI FirePro v4900. It has one DVI port and two DisplayPorts.
I used two DisplayPort to DVI adapters, and I now have three 19" Viewsonic flatscreens set up and working great.
Even cooler is I am using the native driver in F17. I have Gnomeshell working just like I like it, and it is freaking AWESOME! I've also run it with RHEL 6 and it's also perfect - desktop effects works great!
