Hello, pymolers

We running Redhat 7.3, XFree86 4.2.0, kernel 2.4.18-3. Currently, we running on Matrox Millennium G450, the 3D-accelleration works fine in Merged mode but not in dual-head mode. While nmrview works fine in dual-head mode, but font messed up in Merged mode. So we can't get both to work right at the same setting.

So will Radeon 8500 work with both?

What does "merged mode" mean?

I know that most XFree86 drivers do not support OpenGL-3D-acceleration when used in Cinerama-mode (i.e. dual-head with one continuous desktop).

As far as I know, nVidia claims, that their driver can do that though (but I haven't tested it, due to lack of a second screen and a dual-head graphics-card.
