In that case, I could postpone the purchase of one of these (probably
the ATI) until after avivo (or nouveau) are stable enough for my

Thanks for your reply, Matthieu. It's a sad state of affairs when it's
basically impossible to buy a videocard that does what you want.
On a related note, do you have any state on the mtx driver ? (for
Matrox P-series video cards)
Cheers,
