When you find something, please, let me know too. I have a pair of DFPs and an old nVidia card, and the nv driver doesn't support using it in dualhead mode, so I'm forced to either use the nvidia driver or give one of my DFPs to my wife. While that would make my wife happy, it would significantly reduce the use I get out of my desktop. I've grown accustomed to dualhead and find it hard to work without it. I'm planning on upgrading to an Opteron or X2 dual core system this summer and if I do that, it seems like my only option will be to buy two PCI-e video cards (at $150CDN a pop, minimum!) only to use a bare fraction of their power, if I want to keep my dualhead display and use the open source driver. That will most definitely cheese off my wife. Maybe I can bribe her with the DFP. -- _ Ben Steeves bcs@xxxxxxxxxx ( ) The ASCII ribbon campaign ben.steeves@xxxxxx X against HTML e-mail GPG ID: 0xB3EBF1D9 / \ http://www.metacon.ca/ascii Yahoo Messenger: ben_steeves -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
