I have a dual head G450 and it is excellent, but, from the web sites it appears that matrox development for linux has stagnated (the linux drivers are beta, and have been that way for over a year..) My problems with nvidia - I hope are mostly hardware, rather than driver related.
My observations are based on what I have read from the manufacturers support sites. It may just be that ATI cull anything less than complimentry from their site, while the other manufacturers allow any ratbag to express their view :) Ann, What are the problems with your ATI carded machine?
