Uhh, no; 1680x1050 does not require a dual-link DVI port/cable. As to a good GPU which "Just Works(TM)" out of the box and still has at least passable render performance (although not for some modern games), the R200-series Radeon cards (listed below) work extremely well. They even support a 3d-accelerated merged-framebuffer Xinerama- style; you can split a 3d-accelerated window across both monitors. R200-series cards: R200: Radeon 8500/8500LE/9100, FireGL 8700/8800 rv250: Radeon 9000/9000Pro rv280: Radeon 9200/9250/9200SE More info here: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ ATIRadeon#head-9161ac9470497d94f1a4f79794697347b20d5170 Cheers, Kyle Moffett - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
