I'm running FreeBSD-5.4 from cvsup and having some Xorg problems with Xinerama on my Matrox G450 dual-head card. While Xinerama works fine for local X11 apps, an app started on a remote machine displaying back to my box fills the fvwm frame with nothing -- except whatever bitmap was already there. Moving the window moves the image of the bitmap around. Killing the app leaves the fvwm frame; I have to "kill" the frame in fvwm to make it go away. If I turn off Xinerama, everything works fine, but obviously I don't have Xinerama. Any suggestions for a good dual-head card which works well with Xorg and Xinerama? I've got two 21" CRTs so don't have DVI input. I don't game so I don't need that kind of speed. I'd prefer something quiet, that doesn't require a fan to prevent it from melting. I'd like to keep it inexpensive. Thanks.
