It might work by now, but not with Matrox's driver and hopefully the VESA-driver does not crash on startup any more like it did for me a few months ago. > If not, what can I expect for the not-too-far future? Easy and reasonable are not what I would expect from this combo. Also, don't expect anything from Matrox. AFAIK they have not even published beta's for WinXP 64 let alone Linux. Speaking of their Linux-driver. It is buggy and has seen no release since last december. A few hints have been given in August that they are still working on a new driver, but I would not bet on that. regards, Thomas
