I have this card too, and just recently added a second monitor. For me, when I try to shutdown / reboot, sometimes the machines locks up and I have to hit the reset button. But Myth seems to work for me, at least last time I tried it... I'm pretty sure you can only get accelerated video (ie/ Xv) on the first head, not the second. I think that's a limitation of the hardware, though I could be wrong. I've just been assuming that it's a driver issue causing the hangs, so I haven't done much to try to resolve them. I suspect they aren't really related to Myth, as I haven't run Myth much on here since I added the monitor. -- aaron
