1) What am I missing to get dual graphics working with LFS?

HP DV6-6135dx with 6620 and 6750

It only puts a load on the 6620 and will not touch the 6750, other games will access them both.

Overal it is running just fine, at 30 to 100 FPS, but there are moments were it bogs down...



2) When setting up multiple monitors, it seems to cram them all onto one screen, does LFS require something like the Matrox dual display splitter?



3) Are there any good seamless double monitors out there? that are not overpriced?

So does LFS just not make use of the graphics hardware?

I'm sure it does and it will end up being something really simple. I just have no clue as I'm cheap and use a 7 year old PC to play LFS

You sure you've read/done this?

Why use double monitors with a stupid bezel (seamless does not exist) while you can get 21:9 tv's nowadays like the Philips 50PFL7956H*?

They are still a bit expensive though. But all new things start expensive

Besides, I don't think you can sufficiently power 2560x1080 resolution with that low amount of GPU power. (Sorry).


* edit: this TV doesn't support a 2560x1080 computer input, sadly. We have to wait a little bit longer on that.. It seems.

Yea I have latest drivers installed, other games are being forced into performance mode just fine... and putting a load on the 6750. LFS, is not putting any load on the 6750, and is barely putting a load on the 6620.

LFS just apears to be designed to use CPU more than GPU...

This lap top works just fine with dual extended, external 1080 displays.
I just had to trim the VGA plug to get it to physically fit both plugs...
LFS still crams all the monitors onto one screen though.

I suspect it will run a 3rd, but still researching how to get the digital port to run 2 seperate non duplicated monitors... I did not think this was possible until I read a few things that got me curious.

I was looking for a cinema size monitor/tv that was affordable... and not too large. There are seamless displays out there, just nothing that is affordable.

I am content for now with the one 24" monitor... maybe I will just go to 32" and call it quits. The 60" down stairs was too big...
