Multi-screen setups?

[Dokujisan]

I was looking at some interesting desktop setups and I was wondering if Nexuiz had support for multiple screens like this one.



Or is that just a function of your operating system / video drivers?

I would think a setup like that would give a major advantage since you'd have such a wide FOV.

I know it works on dual-screen setups (haven't tested it myself, but LordHavoc posted screens some time ago). Of course 2 screens are not that usefull, since the crosshair would be exactly between both screens.
I guess that isn't your setup on the photo, is it? (btw: that setup looks like 2 different PCs, one with dual-screen, the other with a single display to me)
I have little experience with multi-screen setups, but the main problem would be that 3 screens are not possible with most graphic cards, so you need to use 2 cards. I guess running Nexuiz on that is not the problem, more difficult is probably to get OpenGL acceleration working on all 3 screens.

No, that's not my screen setup. I just imagined that it was using a KVM switch between the two computers, but then I see two mice, so maybe you are correct.

This is interesting, I wonder how they accomplish this?

I'm just wondering about the Linux compatibility of it all.

Not to mention the 2 keyboards

This is interesting, I wonder how they accomplish this?

I guess they are setting the graphic card to render at a resolution that's 3 times wider as usual and that box is just splitting the signal...

There is an application for multiple screens:
