My workstation is 4 30" screens is this layout as well. It was hell getting it to work under Linux, but after getting the correct NVidia card with enough VRAM, it has been good.
(I'm a developer but also manage the production deployment of my stuff)
- Tiksi 12y agoIt was pretty painless for the first three for me, all run off one gpu, nvidia 270 iirc so nothing crazy. My setup is pretty lightweight even with compton running so it's never been an issue. Awesome handles multiple monitors really well imho and they're basically independent from each other, except for moving windows between them. When I added the fourth was a bit of a pain, as it's a separate X screen, and separate instance of awesome on a second GPU, but I put dualscreenutils on a keybinding so that alleviated the pain, except I can't move windows to/from that screen, but it's not really a pain point. I'll have "enough" screen area once I have a setup that covers my entire field of vision ;)
- osi 12y agoah. if you step up to a Quadro card, you can drive all 4 off of one. They use that to differentiate the products. agreed on "enough" being full field of vision! :)
