I want to setup an X11 3 monitor system. Does anybody know if this
configuration will make any problems with the latest Solaris 10 for
Sparc ?

I forgot one more question:

How much power does this configuration consume ?

My Blade 2000 with 1 XVR-1000, 1 Creator3D and 1 XVR-100 is using
between 320W and 380W according to my Liebert UPS.

What is probably equally relevant is that it has 2 900MHzCu CPUs, 4GB
RAM and two 73GB FC-AL disks.

Take care,

So i guess there wasn't much trouble installing them. Are you using
Xinerama ?

I also plan to use to use the dual 900 Blade 1000. So i guess it will
get pretty close.
Wasn't there any 6 Watt Graphics Card ? I remember i read something
like this in the specs but couldn't find it at docs.sun.com.

I guess the XVR-1000 is a power consuming black hole like the modern PC
Cards.

No trouble - just make sure the drivers for the various cards are
installed.

I'm using the dual output mode from the XVR-1000 at the moment. I
should remove the two other cards but didn't get around to that.
Whether this'll have an influence on the power consumption I don't
know.

The XVR-1000 uses about 30W _more_ than an Elite3Dm3 (that was the jump
in average power consumption when I upgraded the Elite to the
XVR-1000).

Take care,

Using Xinerama between different graphics cards is not supported
and has unpredictable results. It may work well on the same series
of cards, if they use the same driver (all IFB's, for instance).

So you can use it on the two Elite3D cards, but the XVR-100
would be incompatible.

Sorry, there's also no way to tell the software to XInerama the
two, and have the XVR-100 separate. It's all or nothing.
