Yes, I rotate them 90 degrees. That is handled by the nVidia driver and while it used to make 3d gaming impossible, it now has no impact on gameplay, even in 3d accelerated games. So yes, portrait. I would imagine that to Windows, it does not know the difference if it uses an absolute position matrix. (Not sure why Windows does that but ok).

As for the mouse cursor... what I was envisioning was sort of like using a single mouse to control all 4 Zins right now. When i move the mouse, it moves the cursor on all 4 monitors at the same time.

The only thing different here is that I would only be running 4 computers but controlling 8 WoW accounts. So, the monitors would be rotated and displaying 2 copies of WoW (using WoW Maximizer to remove the screen edges, effectively picture by picturing them together). The only roadblock here is that yes, it is a single screen layout, on a single port of the video card (which makes it far easier for this and a whole host of reasons, mostly due to massive video fps degradation) but now I have a new problem. Only one mouse cursor and two copies of WoW. Sometimes I would only want to send mouse input to the top sets of the screens (the Zins) and other times to just the bottom 4 (the Warlocks) and sometimes to all 8 at once. I figure a simple keyboard toggle would do... but thats the easy part. The hard part is sending the mouse click to 2 places on the screen at the same time. I don't HAVE to see both mouse cursors (as I could look at the screen that had the regular cursor visible) but I would need to be able to send the clicks AND mouse based movement) when I needed to. So, if I clicked and dragged to rotate the viewpoint, it would need to replicate that on all 8 screens (if that was the mode I was in). Does that make sense?

Took a quick picture to better illustrate:

Each copy of WoW is running at 1600 x 1280 on my new Warlock Boxes.



It came out quite a bit darker than I wanted (I have not turned down the gamma yet) but the blue light in the upper right is the on button. I used WoW Maximizer to remove the border on the top copy of WoW. It does not currently have the capacity to deal with multiple simultaneous copies of WoW.
