Can GEM output to multiple displays? Can I generate multiple GEM windows or do I have to span a single window across say 4 displays? I am using an NVidia Quadro FX 500/600 with dual output and will be adding a PCI Video card (or 2) to achieve 4 outputs and possibly another display as a control panel. The screens will be displaying medium resolution avi files so OpenGL computing power should not be an issue (hopefully hard drive will not bottleneck) Has anyone experimented with anything similar?
Any info or advice appreciated, Oisín

A single window across the dual heads of the Quadro is no problem. In every case I have tried, spanning over multiple cards will throw the rendering back to software.
A solution is to use something like the Matrox Dual Head to Go for each head of the Quadro:

You can use the PCI head as the control display.

Hey all,
on nvidia I've created both two gemwins on two each screen (on linux and OSX with nvidia) also I've spanned one window over two screens on linux on nvidia without issue.
no dropping back to software rendering...

i did that too, but was unable to create a single gemwin covering 4 monitors, due to the fact that my 2 dual-head cards were split into 2 XScreens by X. each screen (and so each monitor too) was hw-accelerated but you couldn't create a window that was part of both screens.
probably i should have a look at the SLI-bridge again, but from what i read this will not be the solution for this.
