[AG-TECH] Matrox QID card

[Derek Piper]

	Hi everyone,

	I've been wanting to look into a newer graphics card for our AG machine 
and I was wondering if anyone has any experience using Matrox QID cards? 
I'm wanting to replace the PCI Nvidia Quadro NVS with an AGP solution 
since I too have noticed slowdown with multiple video streams (like 
Natalia mentioned a month ago on the list). One thing though, we have a 
machine that uses a simple AGP card for its main/operator display and we 
have 4 projectors arranged in a 2x2 'wall'. One thing I'm pondering over 
though, is how to get the single display of the PCI card to be the 
'main' one and have the AGP card drive the other displays, anyone know 
if that's possible?. If I'd have to have the AGP card drive 'display 1', 
I was wondering if anyone thinks this is sane:

Matrox QID (AGP)
display 1 -> operator console
display 2 -> 1st projector display
display 3 -> 2nd projector display
display 4 -> 3rd projector display

Matrox Parhelia PCI
display 1 -> 4th projector display
display 2 -> ?

	To note, I'd like to stick with DVI outputs on all 5 outputs (I know 
you can do 3 displays on a parhelia card with VGA/RGB connectors).

	I welcome anyone's comments/ideas.

	Thanks,

	Derek
