Hi Guys,

I've just bought a pair of TFT screens and wanted to connect them to
my FreeBSD box via their DVI connectors.  I've been searching with
google and the list archives, and it seems that the NVidia stuff
doesn't dual head and that ATI are rather unhelpful with regard to
drivers.  I found the project to write drivers for the x800 series
cards, but they look very less than ready.

I'm currently running on i386, but will be building a big amd64
workstation shortly.  These boards seem to use PCI express, and I was
wondering how well supported is that?  What about SLI?

Is anyone running an amd64 system with dual dvi tft's? Are there any
dual dvi cards supported ? Anyone running with two dvi cards?

Any suggestions would be extremely helpful,

Thanks,


kep
