Hey Brian,
Yes, this is a dual display card (and it will drive two 1280x1024x24
displays (I've done this, it may go to 1600x1280x24 x 2, but I've never
tried this.)
It will drive a single monitor as well as it will drive two, at least at
the lower resolutions.
The issue is the new monitor wants to be 1920x1200x24. For some reason
it won't go that high.

While I can't remember which card worked, it does require a DUAL DVI-D video
interface to run....so physically it looks like two monitors but logically
it's one.

Subject: [LUAU] new display card needed
My company found itself with a bit of cash at the end of the year and
decided to buy me a Dell 2405 display.
This has a native resolution of 1920x1200. It works great on the
Mac, but I'd like to also use it on the linux box.

http://www.ati.com/products/radeon9700/radeon9700pro/specs.html says
that it should run 1920x1200 @ 75Hz. For some reason X.org doesn't
see it that way.
So I guess I'm looking for a new 'graphics' card.
I don't care (much) about 3D, but I do like my text to draw fast. I
prefer DVI ports to VGA ports. I run Ubuntu (but will soon reload
with kbuntu) on this machine. (3GHz P4, 1GB ram, 2x200GB SATA
drives, all in a Shuttle SFF case.)
I've had this card in various machines since early 2001 (my days at
Musenki).
Anyone got recommendations?
jim
