Thanks to my boss...

Hi,
Thanks to my boss I have the opertunity to use 2 beamers for playing LFS. I have an ATI 9800 Pro so I installed the beamers as wide screen in 2048x768 resolution. This works also with two normal monitors, but then you have a line in the middle (borders of the monitors). Anyway, LFS looks great on this setup!

HAHA!, now thats cool!

great work man :):):):)

[Bob Smith]

Nice. Monitors certainly need to get wider. Makes me wonder why most TFT screens are made narrower than normal. :S

[avih]

cool :)

luuuuuuuuuuckyyyyy

[MyBoss]

Damn, I started to worry when I saw the "my boss" in the thread title lol.

<<my lfs user name :-P

OT: ooooh, that looks so sweet :-D

[Tweaker]

Heheheh Alt-Ctrl.

Yeah I wish I had enough room to make such a setup. For now I just use a 21' monitor and it is pretty close to me, so I get a big enough view I guess :shrug:

I did play LFS once in a ampitheatre once, with a very strong and expensive projector... was incredible (we had a big lan party in there). I don't know the measurements, but the screen was theatre size :).

Only got to try it for about an hour though.

But man... two projectors beside you :faint: Doesn't that blow lots of hot air?

No, the hair dryer does :-P


But that sounds awesome, wonder if the local cinema could lend me their cinema for a day or two, now that would rock :nana:

[Nevermore]

Great looking setup!

I work for Canon, and can borrow all sorts of cameras and printers, but not the projecters (beamers). Too expensive I guess :-/


Guess I have to sweet talk my boss a bit! :D

Very interesting concept !

In the 70's (grrr previous century already) I worked in the the theater, we just started then with a system called Cinerama, wich needed 3 projectors, with 2 vertical lines also ...
Funny to see how slow the digital improvements basicly are :)

Nevertheless very interesting !

if i had that setup i'de use a lot lower fov. its great.

[StanleyCarter]

that looked awesome!

I've had that idea ages ago, but my room is simply too small for that :P

[Shotglass]

i cant find the appropriate words to describe how jealous i am ...

[OPK]

w00tage :D

This rocks :D

[JeDa]

Thanks guys!
It's really great driving with two beamers!

But man... two projectors beside you :faint: Doesn't that blow lots of hot air? Yep, it gets pretty hot, but that adds to the realism :)

if i had that setup i'de use a lot lower fov. its great.
Hmmm, what fov would be more realistic? Has anybody pictures of a more realistic fov?

[mrfell]

Doh Wheres The Images Gone?!?

EDIT

erm they've re appeared???!!!

Would you mind to describe how you set up such a widescreen in the ATI driver's menue? As far as I know the ATI driver doesn't support what is called "horizontal span" at NVidia. I would like to try a dual head setup with my 9800pro too, that's why I ask.

Also, what resolution do you use in LFS?
