That should be able to run dual digital displays. But it may require the mad driver to do it. It should be a shared ramdac and gpu. So unless the did something weird on port it should work with the right driver in play.<br>

Ah, so one chip for digital that can feed one display and another chip for<br>
analog. Kinda what I was figuring.<br>

I would prefer to use xrandr. Besides, Xinerama is so 2000's :).<br>

In either case, I still think it needs to be able to drive that much<br>
display. Not sure why the proprietary driver can and the Free Software<br>
driver can't.<br>

It looks like I can get 2 out of 3 as long as the two aren't HDMI and DVI<br>
:(. With cables plugged into both ports I can't even see post. Remove one<br>
and suddenly lights are on.<br>
<br>
Using either HDMI or DVI with VGA works, though.<br>
<br>
Now I just need to figure out why wheezy demands on cloning the output.<br>
<br>
I'm hoping to find a solution that doesn't require installing the<br>
proprietary driver :).<br>
