rgb, you really are great! :)

In the years I've been reading this list, it's always been
a pleasure to read the posts (I wonder what drama's are on 
LKML tonight... <click>).

Reading and thinking about bandwidth problems has reminded 
me of some recent musings.

My current pet project is:
fbdev+MPI - Parallel Display
http://www.baldric.uwo.ca/~carlos/pdisplay.html

Everything seems feasible, except that the bandwidth 
requirements between the system running vfb-mpi and the 
master node grows n^2 with the size of the display. 

Will this system scale?
Are compressed framebuffer delta's going to be enough?

I just recently started work on this, so I'll return to the
list when more gets completed. Shelving for a 9x9 monitor
grid is already complete, with back breaking monitor moving
to follow.

I'm open to any thoughts and personal anecdotes.
Is anyone working on flexible parallel display systems?
If you were, would it look like this?
