Aster is a bit finnicky when it comes loading up my workplaces. It has to do with the order monitors load up vs how they are assigned. I cant figure out a way to force the order so it works smoothly. To get around it, every time it would load incorrectly, I just make sure I forced Aster to try(and knowingly fail) to start the 4 additional workplaces and then reboot. It can take a couple of times before it 'takes' and all 5 workplaces boot up.

Im running 2 ShuOne 8 ports
One dedicated to Mouse(Naga Trinity) that I drive from my Warrior with
One with my main KB(Huntsman) and an additional mouse(Scimitar) for slaves, as I do not connect my driving mouse to my slaves at all in aster. With this ShuOne always in broadcast mode. It allows the 12 side keys(on the Naga) to register as a KB input so it goes out to all slaves as well. Also it avoids the problem with the mouse losing its position. Works very well.

Running a 2nd monitor for my 4 slaves, same setup as multidayz with the quad multiplexer.

Had to add a 5 port USB card to have enough room for the 10 usb connections for the mouse and kb lolsigh

Warrior is 58, so Im working on binding everything the way I want it and then will start working through dungeons. But I dont expect an issue. Looking forward to leveling tbc.
Glad to hear another Aster setup is up successfully.

Aster's Multiseat Desktops (MDs) have significantly less overhead and complexity than VMs and should perform better as there is no true virtualization you should be able to do more with less hardware overall with maybe the exception that you need actual video ports (which should be fine for 5boxing).

Were you able to get all 5 desktops to run from the single video card? What do they show up as in the setups (like 2 HDMI and 2 Displayport & 1 HDMI from the iGPU?)?
