[osg-users] Anyone using OSG in Windows with 3 (or more)monitors on 2 (or more) graphics cards ?

You can do that in both setups. If you have one continuous desktop, you 
would just use CompositeViewer and divide the whole GraphicsWindow into 
multiple views which would correspond to the boundary of each screen (in 
pixels).

As I understand it, if you have two cards, you don't have a choice, you 
need two OpenGL graphics contexts (or more). But you could have two 
monitors on each card, and then you would have two contexts, each with 
two views, mapping to one monitor each, and that would give you four 
views. Is that what you're after?

I had thought that kind of setup worked in OSG out of the box, but I've 
never tried it myself. You seem to say it doesn't work? Perhaps on the 
Windows side there's some work to be done.

I can't really help more, since as I said I've never tried that kind of 
setup.
