Damn straight - multiple monitors is fantastic. I have a standard AGP nvidia card and a trident PCI in work machine: 0000:00:0c.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems TGUI 9440 (rev e3) 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR] (rev b2)
Dual monitors works fine, but because the trident is so old and slow I can't run xinerama mode. I have a 19" CRT and a 15" CRT At home I have two nvidia cards, based on exactly the same chip 0000:00:0c.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR] (rev b2) 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11DDR [GeForce2 MX 100 DDR/200 DDR] (rev b2) And xinerama mode works marvellously. I have two 12" LCD on this box, and a third LCD aside for when I find another card. The easier way would be to get a dual head card. Now, I've not had a lot to do with these, but nvidia has to have something, as does ATI. Which you choose would be your preference. As for monitors - if you can pop for two 19" LCD then you're a lucky guy. Even two 17" LCD would be very nice. Be sure that you're happy with the resolution though - most 15" come made for 1024x768 and 17" for 1280x1024. Other modes are done using stretching, or leaving a blank boarder around the side. I'm envious :) -----Original Message----- From: Phill Coxon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 5 July 2004 12:52 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Recommendations for good >= 19" monitors + dual head video? Does anyone have any recommendations for a good reasonably priced Linux dual head video card? Also, nice quality 19 - 22 inch monitors at a good price, CRT or flat panel? I've been watching someone with a dual head setup under windows and I'm amazed at the increase of productivity they're getting from working with two screens. Thanks.
