    This is a job for a tiling WM. Imagine doing this on Window$.

    It would be funny af if there was a way to make the computer think the screen size was infinite (just for the mouse) so you could send your cursor 20 miles away and never find it again.

      Check monitor number 8, it may have opened there.

      Loads fine for me. It’s someone sitting in front of a desk with 15 large monitors surrounding them in a semicircle, 3 monitors stacked on top of one another in 5 columns.

    Go to mouse l settings, make your cursor larger and change the contrast. So when the curse is black and it goes over something white and then white when it goes over black

      You’d need 3 sets to triangulate with in this setup.

      No, seriously: what are they for? They exist since X and at that time, displays were 800p max.

    I had a similar matrix of screens at my old job: Seismic survey observer desk. Three rows tall, four columns wide.

    They weren’t all connected to the same PC, though; If I remember correctly:

    • Top row was one PC (linux)
    • Middle row was another (linux)
    • Bottom left was its own PC (It ran msdos 6.22. Excellent OS for realtime stuff!)
    • Bottom right was its own (linux)
    • middle two at the bottom was windows.

    They were all connected to a Raritan KVM switch, so I used that to select which row to control. The exception was on bottom left and bottom right which had a dedicated keyboard and mouse.

    I have a picture of it somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it.

      you’d love synergy. it’s a client you install on multiple devices and allows you to share one keyboard and mouse across as many devices as you want.

      you can even share the clipboard too.

      really? I used 6.22 back in the day - what’s it still being used for these days?

        Not sure if it’s still in use today, but the above description was 2008 through 2012. Msdos was used for “gun timing”, which basically amounted to extreme precision when it came to opening or shutting some solenoid valves. The computer had a GPS input and a bunch of serial outputs, and a control line (also serial).

        The control line sent instructions of which solenoid to open when, a time reference was determined by the GPS, and you can probably guess what the serial outputs were for.
