You'll probably need at least two video cards. If your motherboard has a built-in VGA, you'll need a separate PCI[X] card for the other heads. Most PCI video cards I've seen comes with a DVI port, a VGA port, and an S-Video port. There are DVI-to-VGA converters out there. Go for nVidia cards. So far, they're the best supported video card in Linuxland, as per my experience. ATI cards to work too, even using the open source drivers. --- mike t. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
