If it >doesn't work dual-DVI, The XFree86 4.3.0 nv driver doesn't fully support DVI properly nor autodetect it on all hardware. I don't believe the nv driver supports dualhead at all, but I've never tried it nor received feedback from people wanting to do that. So this type of setup is not supported. I believe most if not all people who are using such setups, use the proprietary driver anyway. >that might be worthy of a comment in the hardware compatibility >list. I'm not involved in any way with the Red Hat hardware compatibility list, or adding or removing data from it. As far as video is concerned though, I am more or less the hardware compatibility list, regardless of what any HCL may or may not include. ;o) -- Mike A.
