I've never had a whole lot of success with running more than two screens on X.
I say that on a system with three heads and on which I've run up to four for a laugh, but I'm not that happy with it so looking for advice.
I have two nVidia cards, for a total of four outputs. I have these configured in xorg.conf using Xinerama.
Just for the naive like myself; prior to boot can you see four BIOS screens ?; I have a quadruple head video card where this is possible; but I didn't realise this was possible with two dual head cards. Is this a recent hardware feat ; or has it always been possible with Linux ?
Nah, I only get BIOS output on the primary video card's monitors. Likewise, I only get Linux start-up output on those as well.
