3 different rez monitors doable?

[Stumpy]

I don't see why this wouldn't work, but at the same time, I thought
better to be safe than sorry.

I have two monitors (1920x) hooked up to my comp which has two video out
ports, I wanted to add a 4k monitor and will have to add an extra card.

So.
1) Is there any reason this wouldn't work?
2) Is 3.2 working ok with 4k?
3) assuming it should work ok, any "super-compatible" cards I should be
looking at? esp lower profile cards as my sys's internals are a bit
crowded now.
btw, I am not a gamer the most proc intensive things I do is watching
videos, occasional video(minor/non-prof)/gfx editing, photo stitching
etc... most of which i guess don't use a gfx proc anyway?
Thx in advance

If it works on Xorg, it should work on Qubes. So you can try on any KDE or
Gnome forum to get the confirmation you want.

I have two screens which works fine.

Your question about whether it works is really three different questions:
1. Can qubes support 3 monitors?
2. Can qubes support 4k?
3. Can qubes support different resolution.

I don't know the answer to 1, although I can affirm it definitely supports 2;
note that there may be limitations with the frame buffer size but X supports
multiple graphics cards.
In response to 2, it works well on a 4k display (I'm typing it on it now).
In response to 3, X thinks all your displays have the same density, i.e.,
dots per inch. If you don't, it may be painful if you want to avoid tiny
or gigantic type. If you search this group you'll get some help for this
problem.

Well I can tell you the answer to 1 and 3 is yes for Qubes 3.2 as I use it.

Thanks for that, and to the other responses.

I am thinking I will try to get my hands on a 4k mongfx card to test but
it seems like it will likely work.

I run 1600x900 and 1920x1080 on this PC. I have one PC that has 6 monitors and it works just fine.

So yes, it will all work fine. It's Linux. Then again it is Fedora with SystemD, so it will most likely crash and stuff up for 4K just because it feels like it.

If it was a SystemD free version of Linux, it would have 0 issues.
