I just tried Summit Xserver, it is definitly a looot fast. But ... in single head mode. They claim they support Matrox Millennium G450 multihead. In dual view 1600x1200 mode, the pymol won't lanuch, gave out: GLUT: fatal error in pymol, visual with neccessary capbilities not found. But in dual view 1152x864 and under, it does lauch, but not as fast as in single head mode, and some of the screen goes out of the monitor.
And the price for the Summit multi-head is more than the price for a new good graphic card. I just have ordered ATI radeon 9600 PRO and 9600, will see how it goes. Thanks for the informations.
