Gary,

I have the G450 working in dual head mode. I think I have Linux 6.2, not
sure of the kernel, and Xfree 4.0x

Why do you say this is not a viable solution?

Terry

Bob,

Hmm,  I originally got the G450 because of the traffic earlier on this
list when Don Morton couldn't find the G400, as it had been superceded by
the G450.  A quick search and I found you can still get G400's...

Do we even need dual head capability on the Audio and Video boxes?
Those are rather expensive cards, particularly if your aren't going
to use the capability.

Anybody have any other agp recommendations for these two boxes?

Cheers, Gary
