Re: [SLUG] Dual head question

What video cards were you considering on using? Matrox has some nice dual headed cards. NVidia only likes doing dual head set up with other NVidia cards, if you can prove me wrong, please let me know how you did it. http://www.tldp.org/ has some good documents about it. Pete de Zwart.

Re: [SLUG] Dual head question

I've got my Nvidia dual heading with an el-cheapo SiS PCI card, didn't do anything special.. using the nvidia drivers and XFree86 4.2 from RH80 and the SiS driver from XFree4.2...Xinerama works.. I've noticed some odd issue with xemacs that I'm blaming on Xinerama, but it might be something else.

[SLUG] Dual head question

I would like to configure my machine so that can have 2 monitors hanging off one machine. Am I correct in assuming that I would need to buy another video card which will send signals to the second monitor? Would I experience some issue with running pci and agp graphic together? Ideally I would nee
