Hi, I am deciding the components on a new computer, and one of the most important requirements is to have support for three monitors, under GNU/Linux, with open-source drivers. I know I can do this with AMD Eyefinity, but now I am trying to build an Intel-based system. So, can I do this with the Intel HD 4000 system, and the current open-source graphics drivers? Until so far, I thought that even though running 3 displays is supported by HD4000, to really use this, two of the monitors has to be connected via DisplayPort. ( See this FAQ: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intelhdgraphics4000_2500/sb/CS-033714.htm) Unfortunately, I could not find any LGA1155 motherboards that have more than one DisplayPort outputs. But now, thanks to GIGABYTE's PR about Thunderbolt and 4K ( http://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/323/4k.html ), I realized that it might be possible to use a "DisplayPort to Dual-DisplayPort Adapter" to split a DisplayPort 1.1 output into two channels, and drive two monitors from there. (Of course the resolution is limited, but 1920 x 1200 is just what I need.) And then using a second port (DVI or HDMI), I could add the third monitor. Is this supported by the hardware? (I mean on motherboards with Intel 7-series chipsets, and with DisplayPort outputs.) Is this supported by the software?
