As we haven't seen updates to the open-source MGA driver in ages, and the Matrox binary driver won't work, Matrox in general would probably not work. That leaves ATI. Keith Packard has tried dual-DVI on ATI, but had issues with whatever radeon he was using (don't remember) getting the second DVI to work, and has fallen back to DVI and VGA. I'm not sure what it would take to fix it (I've avoided mode setting stuff so far), but I would imagine someone interested could do so. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
