I am not sure if this is where to ask this, but here goes: 

I have a dual head setup using xinerama and Xfree 4.2.0 (January 18, 2002 
build date) with kernel 2.4.18. My cards are Voodoo 3 3000 AGP and ATI Xpert 
98 Rage XL 8M PCI. Everything is fine with the exception that I can't get 
either Mplayer or Ogle DVD to display video on the second head (the ATI 
card). I have been informed that this is because overlay is not available on 
the second head, but no one has been able to tell me if it is even possible 
to do this. 

So, does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how is it possible? 

If it requires a hardware upgrade, I am fine with that (I was planning to 
upgrade anyway, as the 16bpp limitation on the Voodoo was bugging me) but 
could someone let me know of a card set that would work for this? 

Thanks in advance. 

Ian.
