I have a 2 monitor + laptop setup and most people who see it assume I’m a super nerd or something. Any programmer who sees it always recognizes how great it is not to need to flip through references and terminals and editors and crap right away. 6 is probably the max for productivity though once you get more than that I find it hard to remember where I put things.
I would really like more information on how you got this working.
Man, with the new OS’s, you can do some serious multi-tasking. But I don’t care who you are, you don’t need that much space. (even if you are web programming ; ) )
…and the top comment has 69 thumbs up…I’m not going to press that thumbs up button just for that reason
Nossa!!! Muito legal isso Ubuntu 8.04
could I get like, one of those x-box sensors. so I could manipulate the windows by hand motion?
Windows>Ubuntu
i havr 2 screens and want two different worspaces 1 on each screen is this posible and how can i do this with compiz fuzion?
I would realy like to see a write up on what all was done to accomplish this. Xinerama hasn’t allowed me to use more than 2 conveniently, and i’ve had no luck getting Compiz working with it

I see Adobe Flash is dragging as always. Man, they really don’t know how to write software.
nice laptop
hi friend,
Nice job, congratulations!
Are you using two ATI/AMD 5000 series graphics card? I’m about to get an AMD Radeon HD 5750 to run 3 monitors in Ubuntu, do you think the drivers will work fine with Ubuntu?
thanks!
@samanthalynn6790 HA! You, sir, have never done and serious video editing, programming or something similar. I have 3 screens but only due to funds.
Man that is so cool… You are my hero
Windows > Ubuntu/Mac
plug in your laptop – 7 monitor
So when u turn on all that shit, thats why the neighborhood browns out,
good job!!
why not just go with a large hdtv at this point? i wouldn’t like all the breaks in the screen. and with always on top functionality you can have your windows spread out anyway you want btw what is the total distance horzontal?

could you upload your xorg.conf somewhere? i have been working on a 4-screen setup for about one week now and i cant get it to work
@samanthalynn6790 impractical!? haha… you probably don’t do any real work on a computer. It’s VERY practical for developers.
@Crypt1cmyst1c When I wrote that comment I knew nothing about Linux or Ubuntu and primarily used Windows. now i know a little bit more than next to nothing about Linux and finally found out about Compiz, but never heard of Deform. I still primarily use windows…… you know, bad habits die hard…
I found a program for Win called DeskSpace. Not as good, slow, and bogs down memory, but i guess it works for what i need. Oh and did i mention that it is proprietary lol
Thanks for the reply & Info
@xmanipulatorx I know this is an old question but I am going to answer it for future reference and for others.
I haven’t tested it but the IP address could be either static or dynamic. The important part is that the client uses the Windows DNS server. DNS is very import in the Windows world for the clientserver communications to work right. To do this jsut change the /etc/resolv.conf file and point it to the windows DNS server.
Hi! thanks for the information, but I got a question, I hope you can anwser it, wich ip address the ubuntu client should have?? does it have to be necessary to be an dynamic or static ip?? I mean, this ip should be given by the dhcp role from windows 2008?? I hope you can help me. Thanks.
MrOldies650: Thanks for the video! its very helpful.
Would this work for an Windows 2003 AD?

Chris here from IT inc:
It should work because AD in Windows 2003 is very similar to AD in Windows 2008. Microsoft has extended the AD database somewhat but I don’t think that will have an impact in this situation.
Give it a try and let us know by posting in.
Thanks,
