There are opensource drivers for nv, ati, and matrox but they don't
get the full features of the cards afaik. Whether or not the extra
ports/jacks and what not work with the open source drivers is possibly
googlable.
I've got a dual head at work via the simple expedient of two video
cards, one agp, one pci. If you have the slots, go with known
working. :-)
\_ Hmm, my old AGP cards don't even physically fit in the slot.
Tin snips will fix that.
