No, one 17" and one 14" monitor.

I have had a little bit of hassle, but I don't think it's XFree86's
fault. It may be... My 14" monitor is one I bought about 3 years ago.
It's been mostly unused for the last year. I'm trying to use it at
1024x768 @ 60 Hz, but it's behaving like the refresh is too high.
Sometimes I turn it on, and it's fine, though...
I did find the solution to my earlier problem. Both xinerama and dual
head work now that I specified :
Screen 1 "Screen 1" RightOf "Screen 0"
in the ServerLayout section in /etc/X11/XF86Config

Don't bother. Not yet. Utah-glx supports hardware accelerated GLX
under 3.3.6, but 4.0 currently has no hardware acceleration for the
G400. I've got one on my other workstation, and Utah-glx is pretty
cool. Matrox is paying Precision Insight to develop a driver for
XFree86 that supports both dual head and OpenGL, I beleive. Wait for
that.

It's not terrible. Windows shrink when I move them to the smaller
monitor, but that doesn't distract me at all.
