	My friend Simon has a very pretty setup at home with a commodity card I
believe; Simon - what hardware are you running for multi-head / Xinerama
?

	I think multi-card is pretty much doomed to failure, what with the
prevelance of the (point to point) AGP bus; but there are an increasing
number of dual output single cards out there. And I believe some triple
output ones [ better for gaming not to have the cross-hair split between
screens I think ;-].

	HTH,
