<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Some time ago, Izik said the following:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">>Spice currently support only
4 monitors, however it is just a matter of changing a #define to make it
run with more <br>
>monitors.<br>
>What worry me with 8 monitors is the amount of pci memory that we will
have to allocate I am not sure if there </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">>will be enougth memory below
the 4giga address<br>
</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">I have assembled a 6 head thin
station (if you can call it really thin ;)) and wanted to try SPICE with
6 heads. So I went ahead and modified </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">vdesktop/qemu/hw/pc.h:#define QXL_MAX_MONITORS
4 to 6</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">compiled everything, and started
with the "-qxl 6". Windows was able to detect two additional
monitors, i proceeded with the driver install. I then went into Properties
and did "Extend my windows desktop..." on the 5th monitor. qemu
crashed. I then restarted, now the 5th monitor was enabled. I tried setting
resolution to > 834x762 and apply, another crash... (640x480 works)...
Tried enabling 6th monitor - crash! Tried adding "-qxl 6,ram=32"
no change... I've also changed #define DEFAULT_QXL_RAM_MB_SIZE 64 to 128
and Windows clients stopped booting. I tried "-qxl 6,ram=128"
but that also has started hanging up the windows vm boot... really shooting
in the dark here, but hey that's just a try ;)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">I'm using stable 0.4 release, since
in the unstable the preformance of my virtual machines is very poor. not
sure why. I'd be glad to keep testing 6 monitor setup ;)</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Thanks!!!</font>
