My boss and I have been playing around with the used monitors and old PCI
video cards at the computer shop where I work. On machine running
<cough>Windows</cough> has _five_ monitors attached to it and is running a
screensaver called Psychedelic[1] that is stretched across all five
screens--it looks incredible! Another box that we put together is running
Ubuntu with three monitors hooked up. I have xscreensaver running different
hacks on each monitor and changing them every 5 minutes. It looks neat but I
would really like to see if I can duplicate what the other box is doing.
Unfortunately a lot of the cards are quite old (Matrox Millenium and such)
so the really nifty OpenGL hacks make them choke. However, there are still
quite a few cool 2D screensavers to pick from.
