Hallo list!
I have to use 4 800x600 projectors with 4 channel sound for an installation, so I wanted to ask if someone can share some experiences which hardware we should buy ...
the organizers suggested the following: athlon64, 1.8ghz 1gb ram 2x matrox g200 dualhead pci. (1 or 2 computers)
- Should I really try to use the 64 bit processors :) (on linux of
course) ?
- I think I will use GEM (it's not much to do - I have to display some
images and text ...), so I am just thinking about, how to use 4 projectors:
- I could use 2 computer with a dualhead graphic card, then make a big
GEM window over all 2 heads
I tryed this and it works great. (display the same scene on both computer, and using the perspec message to gemwin to change to viewing properties)
- 1 computer with 2 dualhead graphic cards and make a big GEM window
over all 4 heads ?
I don't think you'll be able to have DRI on a window crossing 2 craphic card.
- or maybe start 2 PDs on one computer to have 2 gemwins (trying to
avoid the experimtental multiple gemwin feature ...)
if you can se up dri on 4 screen, then it's the same solution as 1.

- matrox g200: has anyone experiences with that card - I searched
google and found an (old) article, there it was said, that it's not possible to use DRI with 2 screens on linux ... or could someone suggest an other card?
Thanks a lot for any suggestion, LG Georg
