Re: [MLUG] good video card choice to run Beryl?

[Yolan <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I've got dual PCI-Express 16x nVidia 7600s. My problem is I have to run 
Xinerama to link all four screens instead of the built in nVidia options 
like TwinView. I think the problem at the time was something that was 
more of a problem with Xgl than beryl itself. Last time I tried Beryl, 
Xinerama wasn't supported yet at the Xgl layer if I remember correctly. 
I definitely have the video power to handle the effects across all 
screens (it's fun to just watch the 3d X screensavers like tunnel go 
across all four screens :-P). Maybe I'll test out Feisty Fawn and see 
what kind of advances they've made with the new "easy to install" beryl.
