Aero on 3, 4 or more monitors? Post config?

just - anyone doing this, trying to do this, who has it working - it would be a great help - post what your using.

(all ati / nvidia solutions to date - not happen'in) (here)

* sounds like a country song..."Aero on 3, 4 or more monitors? Post config."

..seriously though...  ?

I havent seen it done, most I got it to work with is a laptop and a projecter.  I did use it at my brothers wedding, I was the DJ and the "memory lane" guy

Monitors (3):

(1) Dell 17" DVI connection

(2) Phillips 17" Analog connection

Video Cards (2):

(1) (I don't recall the make) NVIDIA Quadro FX 550 (I think or equivelent) 128MB PCIe, using built-in WDDM drivers

(1) XFX GeForce 5200 256MB PCI, using built-in WDDM drivers

Quadro FX is controlling two monitors #1, #3 and the FX 5200 is controlling #2. Glass works on all monitors and works well with build 5728. I haven't tried 5744 yet.

wild that your pcie mons are  128 ram and the one pci is 256

ok there's one.  that helps.  more?

* i have 1 256 meg radeon 770 pcie -  + a 256 ati 9250 pci  and a Nvidia 550 geforce 128 pci

Q:  i am (painfully) aware there is currently no radeon driver for the 9250 - but judging from above bold text - is there ...hope?
What is 4 pixel shader - and smart shader ...does that = pixel shader 2.0? 

For the Nvidia based EVGA eGeForce FX 5500  (ddr/128/pci): Specs

• Digital Vibrance Control 3.0
• Integrated TV encoder
• Integrated full hardware MPEG-2 Decoder

Q: This card says it supports it...but doesnt work - black screen.  doesnt work with aero - or basic.  doesnt work at all.  I cannot check IRQ settings - as the card isnt installed "Disable becuase it is not compatible with the VGA adapter" vista says.

So there is where im at.  ive purchased 2 cards for the mission to run aero - and nither work.  If anyone has one of these cards - or MS - if you feel like re-writing your WDM drivers to work (they dont in 5744) i would appreciate it.
