Ever since one person known as 'erek' showed me DRI-HEAD i've learned that XFree86 4.3.0 is just a little outdated. I use DRI-HEAD on my other server that is using a Matrox G400 Dual Head also, works snappy on 5.1 I stopped relying on XFree to keep updating their stuff along time ago. I've had problems with DRI admitidly but it works now. They get the kinks out in waves if you ask me. -- Scott M. Likens
