In another thread concerning hardware support for Linux, "Do you have to buy specific hardware for Linux", the poster asks a question concerning Dual Head support for a Matrox P650.
You responded saying that it works "out of the box".
I would like to know:
1. How you made this work. 2. Why Suse technical support says it is not supported 3. Why the web is FILLED with posts about people who CAN'T make this work?
So what's the story Peter? Are you making this all up? Or did you forget to include the fact that you are using a G450 when you said "Matrox works in Dual Head mode".
So what is the real truth Peter?
I say you are lying. Prove me wrong.
And for all the others that side stepped the original post, the board is a Matrox P650. The Linux system is Suse 9.1 out of the box.
So for all of you that have been saying "dual head works with Linux" please be SPECIFIC as far as model is concerned or don't waste our time and make yourself look like a fool.

Flatness is a fishy thing grasshopper.
According to ye book of tech support Chapeter 7, verse 7: "Ye who call the great GNU in vain shalleth on his bended kees assume the education position and hireth a consultant whom shalleth fix thine ropey knowledge of GNU and the great Linux by fixing what thou cannoteth fix by thine own hands."
Therefore you should hire a techie to fix what you cannot fix yourself.

Dual head works with any two or more PCI graphics cards that are supported by Linux.
These sites indicate that Linux is one of the supported OS's for the P650, though the Matrox site does not:
"Okay, I'm afraid I'm going to have to do this again. Everyone, if you use Linux and want to use dual monitors, do not purchase a Matrox card. Matrox's idea of a Linux driver is to take the contents of a dirty toilet and proceed to build code from those contents. A disgusting image, but I don't want anyone to doubt the sincerity or strength of my conviction that Matrox and dual-head Linux do not belong in the same document---and yet, here they are. My particular experience is with the Matrox P650, don't do it. If you want a headache, there are lots of ways to get one that are much more fun in the meantime.
Anyway, I highly recommend NVidia or ATI if you want to do Linux and a dual-head display."
This guy laughs at the puniness of this graphics card:
"With only 64MB of dedicated RAM and 3D capabilities that would make a similarly priced nVidia card laugh until its lungs bleed, the Parhelia-LX based Matrox P650 appears expensive. When it comes to pure pixel-pushing power the Matrox P650 wouldn't even frighten a Playstation, but it is not to the geeky gamer that this card is marketed."
maximus - SuperMicro P3TDDE Dual 1.2GHz, 1GB Memory. 250GB total disk space. Matrox P650 Dual head Video Card. This is my main system for MPLAB programming, and simulation/Engineering programs. It runs ok, but with WIN2K, I have to reboot often."
Sounds to me like this card is a bit of a dog, and everyone but Matrox is reluctant to support it, and they did a half-assed job. A self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.

And yes, I say this setup works. Since you such an intelligent flatfish, you will certainly find out how
BTW, your crossposting gave you away (again). Youz know damn well that crossposting to aow-xp is used for *one* sole purpose: Flatfish is calling in the idiots for help -- Who the fuck is General Failure, and why is he reading my harddisk?

And you expect that idiot Kuntman to have any material to prove his lies? Dream up, that idiot is the most retarded piece of cunt on COLA, he lies through his rotten teeth (german teeth?), like 99% of all COLA Linux poasters, he is not a Linux advocate, he is an anti-Microsoft anti-American troller. But don't loose hope, we're here 24x7 to uncover these Linux cocksucker's lies.

What does the MCSE stand for? ... Must Consult Someone Else? But you can cut your trolling crap out, luser. I also cut out the XP ng... no need to stir up the seagulls over there.

There is really no other newsgroup that can conceivably be related to the discussions in COLA -- hence, I don't think one should every crosspost to COLA and any other newsgroup.
