Im looking at possibly using GEM to output different graphics onto 8 or 16 monitors. I have found some graphics cards that supports it (windows platform), but before I go ahead and purchase Id like to find out if GEM has a multiple screen output option. Are there any resources regarding this? And has anyone done this in the past?
Thanks, Timon.

i have not (yet ;-)) used GEM like this.
gem is not able to access multiple screens by itself. however, if the "X-Server" is able, to create one virtual "Desktop" out of 16 screens, then i don't think that there should be any problems. (just create single big Gem-window that covers all screens)
most probably, you will have no openGL-acceleration on all screens, which might become a problem, as the resolution will be *huge* and doing this in software might be too much, even for fast CPUs.
