Supported Frame Lock Conﬁgurations

The following frame lock conﬁgurations are supported:

Basic Frame Lock: Single Quadro, Single X Screen, Single Display Device with or without OpenGL applications that make use of Quad- Buffered Stereo and/or the GLX_NV_swap_group extension.

Frame Lock + TwinView: Single Quadro, Single X Screen, Multiple Display Devices with or without OpenGL applications that make use of Quad-Buffered Stereo and/or the GLX_NV_swap_group extension.

Frame Lock + Xinerama: One or more Quadro(s), Multiple

X Screens, Multiple Display Devices with or without OpenGL applications that make use of Quad-Buffered Stereo and/or the GLX_

NV_swap_group extension.

Frame Lock + TwinView + Xinerama: One or more Quadro(s), Multiple X Screens, Multiple Display Devices with or without OpenGL applications that make use of Quad-Buffered Stereo and/or

the GLX_NV_swap_group extension.

Frame Lock + SLI SFR, AFR, or SLIAA: Two Quadros, Single

X Screen, Single Display Device with either OpenGL applications that make use of Quad-Buffered Stereo or the GLX_NV_swap_group extension.

For Frame Lock + SLI Frame Rendering, applications that make use of both Quad-Buffered Stereo and the GLX_NV_swap_group extension are not supported.
