GPU Screen binding!

Question

Hello, I recently got into the point of which I would like to have a dual screen monitor like in real life! But how do I exactly bind my two screens to act as dual monitors?

 

I got two GPU's and two large separated screens connected to the computer!

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks.

OpenOS doesn't have proper support for multiple monitors built in. Last time I tried there were even some issues where a different screen might be used during early boot than when the OS is running, though that is kind of random and might also have been fixed.

Having two monitors isn't as useful as in real life either - OpenOS is just a command line, there's no real use for the second monitor since you can't put anything on it. And you can only open one monitor's GUI at a time, so switching between them is kind of a pain unless you use them in touch-only mode without their GUI.

If you want to work on two things in parallel, it's probably easier to set up a second separate computer instead of hooking two monitors up to one computer.

Disclaimer: I haven't thought through everything; it's just a quick idea.
You'd have to hack into the component system and add a "virtual" gpu bound to a "virtual" screen.
Both virtual components should be set to be the primary one.

It involves a lot of writing code to support the basic functions of gpu and screen. Events have to be modified, too.
