So I have an issue:

I am trying to configure eyefinity on linux so that I can play my games with all three monitors, rather than being bound to one.

 

All of the googling I have done seems to point that "eyefinity" on linux is simply an extended desktop, with games on one monitor and another app on another monitor.

 

Does anyone have any idea how I would go about this?

 

If it helps, my xorg.conf is as follows:

 

 

 

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
    Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option        "Xinerama" "off"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    Option        "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
    Option        "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
    Option        "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "0-DFP5"

    Option        "TargetRefresh" "60"
    Option        "Position" "1600 0"
    Option        "Rotate" "normal"
    Option        "Disable" "false"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "0-DFP10"
    Option        "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
    Option        "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"

    Option        "Position" "3200 0"
    Option        "Rotate" "normal"
    Option        "Disable" "false"
EndSection

    Option        "Monitor-DFP9" "0-DFP9"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "amdcccle-Device[1]-1"
    Driver      "fglrx"
    Option        "Monitor-DFP9" "0-DFP9"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
    Screen      1
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "amdcccle-Device[1]-2"
    Driver      "fglrx"
    Option        "Monitor-DFP5" "0-DFP5"

    Screen      2
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
    Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Virtual   4800 1600
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "amdcccle-Screen[1]-1"
    Device     "amdcccle-Device[1]-1"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier "amdcccle-Screen[1]-2"
    Device     "amdcccle-Device[1]-2"
    DefaultDepth     24
    SubSection "Display"
        Viewport   0 0
        Depth     24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

This is really frustrating, I just want to play my games at 4800x900
