I left out the 400, which had the same problem as well, so I suppose they're all to be lumped together. Do you have any information on how far along this emulation is coming? I doubt it will be in time for my needs, but I'll be happy to beta ( break ;) ) it when it is ready to alpha/beta.
Thanks,

Mark,
The only experience that I've had w/ that is the Matrox G450/550, and IIRC, I was told that was an issue of the 2nd RAMDAC operating at a lower clockspeed. I hope you're not right ;).
Thanks,

I don't know about the G450, but the G400 definitely did not support 8+24 mode on the second head. It didn't even support depth 8 on the second head or gamma correction or DirectColor visuals or hardware cursor.
Ebgert (or Andrew?) is working on a way to emulate PseudoColor with DirectColor so you can run simultaneous depth 8 and depth 24 windows on the screen if you don't care about the overlay functionality (ie. color key and multiple layers). But that would require DirectColor capability, which the G400 didn't have on the second head.

It was my impression that of the cards that supported overlays, they only supported them on one head. If that's still the case (I don't know of any counter examples), then a single card, two head system is unlikely.

All,
I'm having trouble finding information about a recent ( read : reasonable performance ) graphics card that will do 24 bit / 8 bit overlays in a dual-headed ( pref. w/ Xinerama ) configuration w/ XFree86. Does anyone have any suggestions? I haven't any luck w/ Google or the archives, and I know the last time I tried to find a card that could handle this, about 2 years ago, it wasn't possible.
Thanks,
Derek R.
