At Phoronix we have posted a new article. A link to this from your
site's news section would be greatly appreciated.

Title: AMD's MultiView On Linux ( -at -) Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12931
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."
