Hi all. I've used the radeon driver on a variety of machines and ATI boards over the years and they work very well for me. Thank you very much for the fine work.
I would like to know what features I should look for on a Radeon based video card so that I can have two separate desktops on each of two monitors. I currently have a PCIE based Radeon card on my main monitor and a USB based VGA adapter for my second monitor. As you might expect the USB adapter is quite slow and it slows both desktops when it gets used by a video intensive application (amateur radio related). Using Ubuntu 10.10 I get the independent desktops I desire in Gnome. Are there Radeon cards with independent chipsets and dual monitor outputs available and is the radeon Xorg driver capable of giving me independent desktops on each monitor? The card needs to be for PCIE as well. BTW, I know about Xrandr desktop extension and display cloning and I'm not looking for either feature. Thanks. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
