Summary: "Introduced in the Catalyst 8.8 Linux driver and further

stabilized within Catalyst 8.9 was AMD's MultiView technology. MultiView

makes it possible to use multiple GPUs on the same system not for Linux

CrossFire but for driving multiple display heads. Using MultiView on

Linux you can easily drive four, six, or even eight screens. In fact, up

to 32 displays are theoretically supported on a single system

(permitting you have enough graphics cards and PCI Express slots).

MultiView also allows for OpenGL acceleration across all displays and

does not rely upon Xinerama. In this article we are taking a brief look

at this multi-GPU multi-monitor feature catered towards AMD's

workstation customers."
