AMD's MultiView On Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Introduced in the Catalyst 8.8 Linux driver and further stabilized within
| Catalyst 8.9 was AMD's MultiView technology. MultiView makes it possible to
| use multiple GPUs on the same system not for Linux CrossFire but for driving
| multiple display heads. Using MultiView on Linux you can easily drive four,
| six, or even eight screens. In fact, up to 32 displays are theoretically
| supported on a single system (permitting you have enough graphics cards and
| PCI Express slots). MultiView also allows for OpenGL acceleration across all
| displays and does not rely upon Xinerama. In this article we are taking a
| brief look at this multi-GPU multi-monitor feature catered towards AMD's
| workstation customers.

| Few modifications to your work environment can create a productivity change

Windows Vista multiple monitor restriction
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, it turns out, if you want to run the new Aero interface,
| you'll need to be using the same video driver to drive all of your
| monitors. Now, since Aero (in my opinion) is one of the only reasons
| to run Vista, obviously not running Aero isn't going to be an option.
