Sounds like some cool toys.  Are you running that card/monitor under
Knoppix?

I would be interested in your future progress with twin monitors.  I have
tested the twin monitor capability of two cards under windows.

I found the Matrox G550 video card was: a dog! (well not a complete dog if
it continues to work well under RH.)

Pro: it worked flawlessly under RH 8.0 (that's why I bought it,) the twin
monitor capability software performed well under windows.

Con: does not do OpenGL (that's what I bought it for!!!,) software needed a
patch for a major bug, card is still fritzing under windows (I dropped from
optimal to default in the resolution.)

I found the Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 card was: good (still under observation.)

Pro: does OpenGL, so far no problems with performance.

Con: the twin monitor capability software performed poorly under windows.

But what about twin monitors under Linux?  I am still waiting on a backup
strategy.  I am completely gun shy at this point.  But I suspect I will find
that the capability works fine and all the monitor software controls will be
limited.  But I'll take stability over flexibility any day.  It did sounds
like you had to do some tweaking to make that happen Bob.
