I assume this is on topic on this forum...

I got some new monitor arms that support rotating the screens, and it looks completely ridiculous Check it out:
Those are 21" screens @ 1050 x 1680, and you could make the case that rotated like this they're just too high. I'm fiddling with the height to see if it can be made to work. For now, I especially like the layout for code work (horizontally split emacs screen) and it actually makes some sense to have browsers / documents in this layout too.

Other interesting factoids: I'm running Debian with the i3 window manager on Xorg/nouveau where you can change the rotation on the fly using something like "xrandr --output 'name of display' --rotate left".

Looks odd but maybe useful
you're running debian on a i CPU and it does support double screen and rotating ...
Very nice

By the way what is your trackball ?

The trackball is a Kensington Expert Mouse 4. It's OK, not great, but it's extremely hard to find a great trackball.

What did you mean by "i CPU"?

i3 cpu
must have forgot to type strong enough the 3

I just have one screen on may steup but i plan to add another one, it's an ubuntu/debian double boot machine and double screen support is a ust have

I'm not using an i3 CPU; it's a Core2 Duo. i3 in my post is the name of a window manager. IMO one of the best tiling window managers out there.

i3 a WM, i knew openbox, WMFS, even openstep but that one i didn't...

I'll try it thanks for the advice

Nice setup. I've been using it at work since mid-January. I'd prefer 3, but I'll bug IT later for that.



I use Awesome WM with Arch Linux in general (this pic was taken right before I wiped IT's version of Windows 7).
Along with my Desko with modified Zenith cupped double-shot keycaps and my CST L-Trac (3200 DPI).

I use the R600 drivers for the opensource ati driver.

This works. Porn in the center. Browsing in the right.

And Windows in the bottom

No, that's my Realforce 87U on the bottom.

The fact that you watch porn with that desktop background disturbs me.

How about this one?

Furries in the center. Panda-r posts on the right. Naked woman poster above the monitor. Who KNOWS what's going on underneath.

I'd definitely recommend selling the pair for a single 30" 2560x1600 monitor if you can. You don't have the issues associated with multi-monitor setups, the subpixels are properly oriented, so things look better. Only then, once you need more space than that, would I go multi-monitor. (and either do what Ripster has done, or get a second 30")

1x30" costs > 1000€, 2x22" >220€. I see there a problem for the financially challenged.

@Superfluous - why so high?
neckbreacking setup

It's a standing setup, and in my experience, I like the monitors a little higher compared to the desk top when standing. Though I did move the monitors down a little after I took that picture.
