But it is possible. With ruby+linux 2.6.8.1 I get 3D, both
on the matrox G550 AGP and the radeon 9200SE PCI, simultaneously
if need be. The radeon isn't entirely stable, but that is a radeon
driver problem, not a ruby problem. (It is just as bad if I
boot plain linux and use only one xserver.)
To do this, you need two video cards, and 3D support for both. Then
you run one xserver on each card - X supports 3D just fine.
All you need is cards with good 3D support _and_ who don't mind
to be used along with another card. Some cards wants to be
the only one, unfortunately.
