Any way to use Eyefinity/bezel compensation (multiple monitors as one giant one)?

[Guest]

Would be interesting to try; but I'm wondering if there's any way to reproduce an Eyefinity setup under Linux?

In my specific scenario, I have 3 monitors at 1600x900. The total area of that is 4800x900. The Eyefinity setup wizard in Windows defaults to 5040x900, which aligns pretty perfectly. Taking 5040-4800 gets 240, and I assume that if I take that and divide it by 2; I get the total amount of pixels hidden by the bezel on both sides of the center screen.

So 0 to 1600 (screen) + 120 (bezel) + 1720 to + 3320 (screen 2) + 120 (bezel) + 3440 to 5040 (screen) if my quick calculations are correct anyway.

Is there any way to put this into something for Linux to understand and know how to display, and then to also have applications use as well?

Should also mention I'd like to do this with open-source drivers.

I haven't tried this, but isn't it just a matter of using randr commands to arrange the displays in the framebuffer with a slight gap between the edges ?

You should be able to use the --pos xxy option with any randr capable driver to specify the x,y location of the display. See the xrandr man page.
