Oh, I have 2 monitors working. Not more than that. Wouldn't think it would be an issue, though. Just get all 3 on exclusive video cards. The way I do it is install the OS with just one monitor and one video card, then save your xorg.conf. Now reinstall again with just one video card and one monitor, but from the second set. Again, save your xorg.conf. Repeat one more time and save your xorg.conf. Now read up on merging xorg.confs. Put all the hardware together, boot the OS, and merge your xorg.confs. It took me two days in my case because I had a funky laptop video chip from nVidia, but I managed it. However, in my case I only have it going on 2 monitors. But I tell you, I really would have another case for a 3rd monitor, but I would definitely wanting that running on a completely separate laptop to tell you the truth.josh wrote:I would be more than willing to give up WIndows altogether if someone can help me in getting more than 2 monitors working on Linux
I think I also read if I'm not mistaken that you do SSD stuff with your computers. Wow -- I wish I had the cash right now because I know my system would be smoking fast if I did that. Still, my little dual proc 64 bit AMD processor Acer laptop with 2GB of RAM really does a knockup job for $460 (brand new). She doesn't look as sexy as a Mac book, and I definitely want to get a Mac laptop to format and install Ubuntu, but she'll do for now quite well. I run 2 Windows VMs (XP and Windows 2008 Server) on my Acer laptop while doing coding in Ubuntu, and can even load up Gimp and Inkscape and never have lockups or have performance issues. Windows 7 would likely choke if it had to run 3 OSes + Gimp + Inkscape + OpenOffice + Firefox simultaneously, my bet.
