XFree86 doesn't currently support multi-heading. MetroX does, but of course it's
a pay-solution (though nicely priced when bought with the Red Hat boxed set).
Asking for their technical support (like, which cards do you support and how do
you set them up) is like pulling teeth from a rhino. Of course there's no
documentation short of the actual screen shot for the configuration on their Web
site. No mention of which cards and how to goof with the dip switches. Anyway,
though you can use 2 MMII cards under Win32 for multi-heading (since Matrox puts
out a multi-head driver for their cards under Win32), according to the
questionable tech support I got from MetroLink, you *must* have at least 1 Matrox
Millenium I card in the system since it has dip switches you can goof with for
your setup. They say beyond that, you can use other MMI, MMII, or Mystique cards
in your setup. This is a bit wacky since Matrox themselves support multi-heading
in their latest hardware somehow, and they clame you must have two identical
cards, but you can have two of any of their cards. I can't verify -- I have two
MMI cards.
