6 x MONITORS MULTIPLE MONITOR KDE 4.2.2 Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Compiz Fusion XGL EasyStroke
This is the first of many videos to come on this setup! I’ve been busy working on a way to get multiple monitors to work using multiple graphics cards under the latest versions of Ubuntu. I had been testing intrepid but now that KDE 4.2.2 and Jaunty are available, I’ve gone ahead and moved to it. I’ll be posting an extensive HOWTO in the Ubuntu forums on how this was done. I’ve hacked to gether the retired xserver-xgl from Ubuntu Hardy to get it to work w/ Jaunty Jackalope. Now we have it working with KDE 4.2.2 with full compiz fusion effects and mouse gestures using EasyStroke ( easystroke.wiki.sourceforge.net ) as you can see from this video! Enjoy the show and stay tuned for more! We are working out some last minute bugs and will be posting links here and the info in the Ubuntu Forums..

wow…quite impressive but I think I’d rather have one massive monitor than 6…
e-bonner.
Not really, but this is fucking awesome.
One world. Extravaganza.
i hate u… the upside to not having this gorgeous display is i wont be getting radiation poisoning like u will be in t-minus 12 days
that looks so irritating. You couldn’t work for too long, as your eyes would hurt like a biatch.
Fuckin sick
@MrAbcIMPULSE flames that are produced by compiz fusion when drawing mouse gestures on the screens with the mouse.
wtf are those orange lines which control the windows?
@d2globalinc
Yeaaah
@xM1A1MASTERx Nope, but I have played Star Trek Online on it.. Its very intense.
do u play wow on this? cause that would be nuts
This is a little excessive, but awesome none the less.
Have you gotten a way to extend the task bar across the bottom monitors?
When I do it (albeit in Open Suse’ KDE) it just duplicates the tasks on both monitors. I want it to move the task to each individual task bar like Ultramon does.
omf i want that to :O
If I had that setup I’d become a villain and take over the world, not even superman could stop me and my ingenuity! Damn economy is keeping from buying things I want
