[AG-TECH] Multi Display Cards Recommendation

[Natalia Costas Lago]

We bought a Matrox QID PCIe Low Profile and got the same problem. It seems 
we found a workaround that was to replace VIC 1.1.3 by VIC 1.1.6 (i got this 
version from UCL mbone tools that is more or less the same but a few 
changes).
