Hi, I hope this isn't an inappropriate question for the list but I've spent a lot of time looking for a "safe bet" and haven't found anything. I'd like to setup a couple of RHEL WS3 workstations with dual flat panels and shared desktop (xinerama): one with 1600x1200 and 1280x1024 displays and one with two 1280x1024 displays. We care not at all about accelerated 3D - we just want nice clean 2D support on these systems. The hardware compatibility list doesn't list any video controllers at all for RHEL 3. In the Desktop/Workstation class the Dell Precision Workstations are "certified". The nVidia Quadro4 280 NVS is an option on that system at a somewhat reasonable cost, though I have not priced the extra cost dual-DVI cable yet. Also, my experience with nVidia is that you really need to use their proprietary driver for anything but the most basic functionality. I don't have a particular problem with that as long as I knew ahead of time that it would work with the RHEL kernel. Does anybody have success stories to share? You know, something like "I'm using this and it worked right out of the box with my two flat panels". It's so much easier to find dual-DVI cards that do not function correctly in linux. :-) I'll take negative reports too if that's all you have. Email off the list is fine with me if people don't want to badmouth a vendor in a public forum. Thanks in advance for any help, - Bill Hamblen _______________________________________________ xfree86-list mailing list xfree86-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xfree86-list IRC: #xfree86 on irc.redhat.com
