I'm looking into X extensions now.<br>
<br>
Thank you for the link to the 590. It's very promising. I dug into
their website a bit more and it looks like 3D Vision Surround is
only supported on Windows. It's good to know it's out there as an
option, but hopefully X extensions will get us going without
switching OSes and buying a new card.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<div>There is an alternative via X extensions (with second GPU),
it seemed to work for us couple of years ago but I am not sure
the current status of it. </div>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Software: Ubuntu
12.04.1 running Xfce4<br>
Hardware: Microway 1U rack, 1 x NVidia Quadro 5000, 1 x
Tesla C2050 (access to more teslas), 3 x Dells S500
projectors, 1 x totally awesome custom built immersive
screen :)<br>
<br>
<b>Goal:</b> Maximize ParaView across all three monitors
for seamless integration.<br>
<br>
<b>Problem:</b> the Quadro 5000 supports only 2 monitors
which means we need a second GPU. Second GPU means second
X screen and, as far as I know, a window can not be
maximized across two X screens.<br>
<br>
<b>Help:</b> What are my options for maximizing ParaView
across all three monitors?<br>
<br>
<b>Known solutions:</b> The only solution I've found so
far is to use an AMD card. Two problems with that: 1) the
driver setup is supposed to be a real PITA, 2) we don't
have a FirePro sitting around to try out, so that would
mean buying one.<br>
<br>
I'm open to changing up the software stack if you know of
something that will work.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
