O2 display output questions
#14
RE: O2 display output questions
The vfo file seems to work OK with a Multi-link adapter.

I was wondering if anyone has tried connecting two 1600sw's to an O2?

As I understand there are a few possible options:
1. Flat panel adapter and VGA + ML adapter. However since both use the same frame buffer both monitors will show the same desktop.
2. Dual head card. This supports two 1280x1024 monitors, but I wonder if yo could drive two 1600sw using a ML adapter on each output.
3. Flat panel adapter/VGA port and a RAD4C-KM PCI card. The PCI card has its own frame buffer so this should work. I was told the RAD4C has no acceleration or OpenGL support, so it won't use any of the special O2 hardware, it's just a dumb 2D frame buffer.
4. Any other possibilities I'm not aware of?
