Hello All:

I would like to know: do the nvidia linux drivers support 4-monitor output when they are run on two cards in an SLI motherboard, under xinerama, not twinview? I don't care about 3d acceleration, I just want a xinerama desktop spanning over 4 monitors. I ask this because with the current version of the drivers, I can only get one head working on my second nvidia card in a PCI slot, but both heads work fine on the first nvidia card in an AGP slot. I currently run a five-monitor xinerama desktop using four different graphics cards (1 AGP 3 PCI) and am trying to find out how best to set that up in a new, PCIexpress type mobo.
