|---|---|---|---|

| 3 | 1 | lynxis | You can use libavg in a multimonitor Setup as long libavg can create *one* OpenGL context over all screens. |
| 4 | 1 | lynxis | This works with Intel, ATI and Nvidia. |
| 5 | 1 | lynxis | Most graphiccards only allows 2 screen(also named heads) at a time. There are some cards which supports more |
| 6 | 1 | lynxis | than these. |

| 8 | 1 | lynxis | h2. Intel |
| 9 | 1 | lynxis | |
| 10 | 1 | lynxis | _Tested under Linux with Intel HD4500ironlake using opensource drivers_ |
| 11 | 1 | lynxis | Use xrandr or gnome-settings to add your screen |
| 12 | 3 | lynxis | <pre> |
| 13 | 1 | lynxis | xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1 --auto |
| 14 | 3 | lynxis | </pre> |
| 15 | 1 | lynxis | You can also use xorg.conf to manual configure the same settings you changed over xrandr |

| 54 | 1 | lynxis | _Tested with ATI HD 6950 using proprietary drivers from amd_ |
| 55 | 6 | lynxis | Same way like Intel. Use xrandr-cmdline or use system graphic or you can configure it over xorg.conf. |
| 56 | 6 | lynxis | *BUG* You have to set @Virtual 7128 1200@, because otherwise your VirtualScreen is to small for your |
| 57 | 6 | lynxis | Resolution! |
| 58 | 6 | lynxis | *Configuration for 3 Screens, each is rotate by 90 degrees(pivot mode)* |
