The propritary Nvidia drivers defiantly do Daullink DVI. You will obviously need to set it up properly in xorg.conf. Can't comment on the ati cards, but they should defiantly handle dual DVI out as well. I'd also check out Xorg's Xinimera (spelling?) extensions... -p -- ~~o0OO0o~~ Pete Wright www.nycbug.org NYC's *BSD User Group
