Operating system for visualization app in 6 monitors
- by Federico
Hi. I have to plan the development for an application with these major requirements:
Show different graphical data and animations in 6 monitors, in fullscreen mode.
The hardware to be used is a PC with 3 NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 cards.
I have some expertise working with OpenGL, but never with more than one monitor.
I have the (some limited) freedom to choose an operating system for the application. My options are: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Ubuntu 8.04/10.04.
I would like to know, if you have some expertise or knowledge in the multi-monitor application development field, what is the recommended operating system for this kind of application?
And, do I need any software other than the operating system and the NVIDIA drivers to be able to use the 6 monitors in fullscreen, showing different things in each one of them?
Any comment/answer will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Federico
