I wasn't clear enough in my original post. I'm looking to run
1920x1200 on two DVI monitors; and I'd like some sort of OpenGL
hardware acceleration support, however minor. None of the ATi chipsets
currently support 1920x1200 on two DVI monitors.

That's great and all, but that isn't how it works: I need 1920x1200 on
EACH monitor, over DVI. Sorry I wasn't clear enough in my original
post to convey this.

That doesn't help much, because I'm looking for a supported card that
does 1920x1200 on two DVI monitors; not dvi and one vga (there is a
difference in driver/chipset support)
