Nah, matrox are their own, but you rarely see them nowadays because they are tuned for 2D performance and the kids love 3D. If I'm wrong and you can still buy Matrox, stamp out this FUD, but I haven't seen any in the usual online hardware stores[1] for a while. I've never run two Matrox cards together, I've only owned and used single cards with dual outputs on them. They work really well for xinerama but you lose 3D in dual-head mode. Still, if all you use 3D for is glsnake[2] you barely notice ;-) [1] http://www.eyo.com.au http://www.auspcmarket.com.au [2] Thanks Benno! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
