DOUBLE matrox th2go DE question

[duniek]

as title says
I saw some ppl using 2xmatrox units with 6x22" monitors with resolution 5040x2100 (3x2 setup)

So I am wondering if landscape mode 6x1 will be possible?
Who can check it :D?

[suiken_2mieu]

Possible yes, but with the Theoretical 8192 pixil limit I doubt it'll work, but of course I've seen 5 monitors done, in which far exceeds that limit.

hmm
so another question

if i have regular gpu and 4x22" lcds

and plug matrox th2go to one DVI and single monitor to second DVI
Can I make extended desktop across 4 monitors ? 6720x1050 resolution?

if yes, then with HD5xxx card for I will can run 8400x1050 resoltuion without softTH :O

You would end up with 1 5040x1050 Desktop and a 1680x1050 Desktop Extended. You could play games, but only in windowed mode.

I guess another suggestion could be to use a USB solution such as DisplayLink. They claim to be able to handle up to 6 x USB DVI Connection at 1920 x 1200 or 2048x1152. Not sure how well they handle games though.

On the otherhand, I'm running a Matrox TH2Go DisplayPort version on my macbook with a few extra DisplayLink devices without any issue.

You can play full screen but only on the primary output - unless the game supports multiple monitors or you have set the desktop to span the both (nVidia, XP)

To note. Matrox now supports more than one TH2Go/DH2Go at the same time but they do not interact. I.e. two sets of three using two TH2Go and three monitors a piece is still two outputs as far as windows is concerned - they are not combined in any way other than what can be do in the graphics drivers. No different than having a single monitor on each output as far as what you can do with them together.
