Hi, I'm still searching for a working dualhead solution with 2*DVI ports. Right now I'm using some AGP Radeon 9250 with 1*DVI and 1*SVGA. The TFT attached to the SVGA port is very noisy so I'm searching for a dual-DVI solution. I once tried to just buy a Radeon 9250 PCI to use the DVI from both cards. But the PCI+AGP setup didn't worked, so I could only use an AGP or the PCI card. I probably want to stick with radeon since I use an amd64 and there is - as far as i know - no dualhead supporting driver (the xorg one) with dualhead support for nvidea. The second point is that I don't want to spend much money on the cards since all I do is plain X11. I need exactly zero 3D performance. The 3rd point is, that I don't want any fan on the card(s). Last but not least - I would like to retain the ability of using my xawtv with overlay on both monitors which I probably loose when I use 2 cards, right? So right now I'm thinking about buying 2 PCI radeon cards and kick the AGP one out - will that work properly?
