I've been running dual head w/nvidia at work for a year now w/o any crashes. I use the twinview setting w/xinerama. 3d games work great. I do have a complaint, but it's specific to my card--a 6200 TurboCache (meaning it shares system ram for texture space). This particular card doesn't handle beryl w/o hitting memory limits and getting the black windows bug when it does. But beryl does work and look really nice when few enough windows are open. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
