Er, using multiple video adapters simultaneously is hardly some kind of new technological improvement. It's been possible for years, probably decades. X actually used to support it somewhat 'better' prior to RandR 1.2 being developed. The new randr stuff focused on supporting multiple outputs from a single adapter _really well_, and it certainly did/does that, but it compromised on multiple adapter support as a trade-in. I'm never quite sure what the current status is on putting multiple adapter support back in, but I expect ajax or airlied would know. It may well be the case that you actually could get it to work and you just need a custom config. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
