I'd llike to hook up another 2 monitors to my laptop. Kinda like in Swordfish, but without the hacking ****. You know, BANZI said he had duals, so whut up dude. How's it work and how can I get a desktop pis to be split between 2 or three monitors. Thanks for all the info anyone can provide. Pix would be great too.

 

Not sure how to do it on a laptop... but i know how to on a pc.



I might do it with my new one and keep my winamp n aim and stuff on the 2nd monitor.

 

i think amp has it too, someone has like 2 or 3 21" flat monitors or something, i remember them showing a pic in one topic to vosko



kevin.

 

It's video card based so I doubt it will be a feasible thing.

 

You need a dual head video card. I don't know/haven't checked o see if any are available for a laptop

 

Itr doesn't matter to me weather or not I can hook it up to the laptop really. I already hooked up my old monitor to the laptop and it worked (sort of). It displayed my desktop pis on it but nothing else. I just wanna know how it works and what I can do with it. I know amp has duals I saw the pic, that's why I'm interested.





Plus, I'm gonna build a desktop system in a little while. Why, well ever since I saw Russ (rxheaven13b) build a MEGAPUTER from about $600, I wanted to build my own. Just for web surfing and gaming. :bigok:

 

My new ones gonna be a megaputer. Overclocked too

 

Thats my triple head setup, it's on a 166mmx old school pc w/3 matrox millenium pci video cards, running Debian GNU/Linux. I only use the 3rd 14" screen for a console and weird pc resolutions, the other two are fixed sync retired X terminal monitors (HP A1097C) so they don't work in VGA modes... just nice in XFree86. I've run multihead for a few years now, can't live without it.



dell latitude in view too, BitchX for IRC, mmm, IRC :yum: 802.11b provides IRC capabilities in the ******* !



I havent bought new PC hardware in a very very long time, which is kindof funny considering I spend most of my time in front of em.

 

My new card for the megaputer has vga and dvi and a dvi to vga adapter so i can run two monitors from one card.

 

If you pick up a Matrox Parhelia it has triple monitor support. I dont think they make a laptop version though.
