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?

ahh more on that...

TripleHead2Go delivers the ultimate PC gaming experience, allowing full screen DirectX and OpenGL on three screens at up to 3840x1024 resolution and a 45" total diagonal. Using your system's existing graphics (including SLI™), the TripleHead2Go will take your gaming to the next level with the most immersive environment ever - nothing else comes close. You'll have to experience it to believe it, but once you do, you'll find it hard to go back to a single monitor. Surround Gaming fully engages your peripheral vision with games running at up to 135 degree wide-angle field of view.

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

Lucky bastard.

Not to mention the 2 keyboards

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:

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course, 15 FPS isnt exactly playable.

hey, sometimes (especially on some open-space-maps) I got same fps ... It's really no fun at all ....

it's 450 FPS, the four is cut off...

edit: nevermind

3 monitors can be accomplished with 2 video cards. However, I prefer to play on just the center screen.

how do you do three monitors on two cards?

X on linux/*bsd can combine several graphic cards to one desktop. The X.org team built a 9 head system with 5 graphics for an exhibition a few years ago iirc...

Hardware wise, I have 1 card in a PCIe slot and one in a PCI slot. Both cards have both DVI and VGA output.

Software wise, Windows allows you to configure your cards vs. multiple monitors very easily within display properties.



Each box is draggable, so you can rearrange the monitors however you'd like. The video output is selected from the Display: dropdown menu.

I also use UltraMon because it allows me to add extra taskbars to other monitors (windows doesn't support this natively) and set hotkeys to move applications to another monitor/maximize an application across all monitors.
