2 Monitors - 1 AGP
I was pondering what it would take to get two monitors up and running on my box. I would like to have it configured to where each monitor would display something different, and the mouse could run from one side to the other.
They are both identical 19" CRT monitors. Now I only have one AGP slot and one PCI (Shuttle box). I am going to need an AGP card with two VGA outputs - is that right? I like nvidia; what do you use? Now after this, I am going to need to get X configured. Can anyone post what this part of their xorg.conf file looks like? I use fluxbox as my WM. Will that work, or should I change WMs? |
There are plenty of dual-head nvidia cards out there to be had. Haven't looked at what's out there lately, so I can't suggest specific models. I don't think WM has anything to do with it, as the X server just presents it with a virtual desktop.

Buy whatever dual-headed Nvidia you want. For X config, look for Xinerama. WM does not matter.
