Hi all,
I'm thinking it would be nice to program with multi monitors. In
particular, one running VMWare and Windows so I can test the web app
programs I develop. Currently I use two boxes to achieve this. But the
constant twisting and turning isn't probably the best, yes age catches
up with us all.
However, I prefer Linux as a programming environment (especially seeing
that I do SQL development too (love that middle click copy/paste)), but
was wondering if it (Core 5) easily supports multi display and the
nvidia nView stuff, or is that a Windows only thing? Perhaps someone
can make a recommendation on cards etc?
Any help or comments would be appreciated...
Not quite what you asked for, but in some ways nicer as long as you
already have the other box:
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/.
yum install synergy
on the FC5 side; download and install the windows version and
pick one the other keyboard to use all the time. It will make
the two machines work like one double-headed host and even
cut and paste will work across them. I run it with 2 monitors
on my desktop and have it configured so when my laptop is
on the network it also connects and is controlled by the
same keyboard/mouse just by moving the mouse pointer off that
side of the center screen.
