[ILUG] Dual headed graphics card

[ILUG] Dual headed graphics card

Currently I'm running a triple screen setup with resolution of 3840x1024
using a matrox triple head 2 go box. It's running without any problem using
the nvidia drivers.

The card I'm using is an nvidia geoforce gt220. It came packaged with my PC
and has a digital and analog port. Before I was using the triple screen
setup I ran a dual screen and it also worked like a charm.

I've no idea how much the GeoForce GT220 costs on it's own (if it's even
still available) but I can confirm that it is working flawlessly under
Ubuntu Lucid.

Hope this helps,

Mick
