I'm looking for a passively cooled pci-express card that will support dual-head w/ dvi lcd's on FreeBSD -STABLE. I'm currently using an AGP based matrox and it works well enough. I don't do anything 3-D, just a gnome desktop and various xterms and xemacs and stuff. The only fancy hardware acceleration I can imagine needing would be to support up-and-coming gnome eye-candy. I'd like a xinerama like effect (single desktop image), either w/ xinerma or card specific stuff (like the matrox). I've found these: http://www.nvidia.com/page/quadronvs.html which seem to almost cut it. Googling suggests that xinerma performance isn't usable, but that they do ok as separately managed desktops. Anyone else have any suggestions? g.
