1. Group all 6 monitors using "eyefinity" so they all act as a single monitor. This doesn't seem to be an option in the amdcccle control panel in linux.
2. After grouping all 6 monitors to act as one in windows, I can then enable Crossfire and both video cards provide the acceleration for all 6 monitors acting as a single monitor. This is used for gaming so you can play games FULL SCREEN across all 6 monitors - fully acclerated by both cards. In linux with the current setup - the amd control panel only lets you choose a single monitor to accelerate using crossfireX.
I'm fully aware of the xinerama layouts and how I can do some tricks to make all 6 monitors only show up as 1 - in fact I use something simlar to trick the panels in KDE to map to two monitors each (for a total of 3 panels) - however this is not TRUE eyefinity and doesn't allow me to group all 6 monitors to act as 1 to use full crossfireX acceleration..
In the windows control panel - eyefinity is enabled using "GROUPING" of monitors.. In linux I do not see this option and its only really just enabling all the monitors as individual displays - not TRUE eyefinity.
- Hope that helps clear up what I'm talking about - mostly it comes down to enabling true eyefinity with crossfirex so both cards can provide acceleration to all 6 monitors acting as a single display..
Thanks!
