Re: Advice on dual head cards

[Observer <obs...@mo...>]

I want to have independent users per displays, is this what you
succeded?.
Accelerated X is preferred but not required.
I want to do it cheap, i think the cheapest dual head card are sis
xabre, but i want to make the less possible attempts, so i would like to
know of existent working configurations, I read in the list that there
is a list of supported hardware and a db of ruby users but I cant found
them, does anyone have them?
