Title: Technical: surround gaming
Post by: drvince on January 14, 2005, 06:36:12 pm

Hi,
I added a request on the Sourceforge feature request page.  It\'s the Surroung Gaming support for Matrox video cards, which is a game on 3 monitors, done by only stretching the width (ex.: 3*1024x768 = 3072x768).

Examples (screenshots) can be found here:

Documentation can be found here (there\'s 2 ways to do it):

Matrox\'s developers information request form at:

Take a look at Neverwinter Nights on 3 monitors:

I always thought 3 screens were intresting, not that I would use them of course. Neverwinter Nights looked quite good (of course, it\'s quite a looong way to scroll with your mouse all over 3 screens), but the HUD Age of Mythology was streched miserably. :D
