Bit confused. Are you talking about Twin Display (What is see in
laptop screen and external screen is same) or Xinerama (combine
both screens into single big screen)?
Talking about Xinerama - combining 2 screens into one big screen.
Xinerama with two or more monitors is ok. But with laptop + monitor,
i feel, it may look ugly. How to you feel? Is there any specific use?
Agree that the "total" display would look incongrous. The objective was
to demo "proof of concept"
As I said in my follow up post, we used a dual port video card with
dedicated memory and two LCD panels (same make/size resolution 1440x900
each). It was very impressive. The only thing we did not like was the
sides of each LCD panel breaking up the continuity of the image but you
get more real estate. For example, it is a great setup for video
editing (Cinelerra), the various windows can be positioned in one of
the 2 screens.
