Hi guys,
I apologize for bothering you like that, but after ages of hassling around the xorg.conf I decided to ask over here.
I am building kind of video wall set up 2x2 at this moment and I am trying to figure out how to "merge" X screens into the big one. Just like AMD Eyefinity of nVidia Mosaic does that.
And all this is just because I would like to run fullscreen apps spanned across more screens/monitors. (eg. web browser, movie player)
ftp://www.x.org/pub/X11R6.8.2/doc/xorg.conf.5.html - Xorf.conf manpage actually did not help as this scenario has not been mentioned in there.
Is that possible somehow? I tried a lot and usually ended up recovering the last working xorg.conf
The plan is to create "profiles" for video, web, others and switch between them using shortcuts.
Thanks a lot!
