Currently, I'm running four monitors using a pair of GeForce 7300 GT's. The problem is that I end up with two choices: Run Xinerama and get crap performance and none of the fun transparency effects or what I'm doing now, running two TwinView desktops, which has nice performance, but can't drag windows between and things like maximizing a window causes it to take up two screens and I can never use full-screen effects. (TwinVideo Xinerama hints only work when you use two monitors, not four)
Is there any better solutions for this? Perhaps an nVidia card that does QuadView instead of TwinView? Or does ATI Crossfire do this better?
I'd really like the window functionality I had back when I ran Xinerama, but still have the performance and transparency effects I get with separate desktops. This machine's a workstation, so I don't need gaming performance, just desktop. (I'm a big fan of translucent xterm windows)
