[kde-linux] Trouble with Xinerama on Redhat EL 3.0

[Prasad Athawale]

Alright!

I've realised, ATI X300, and Xinerama - doesn't work - Closest I got is
something which is one big extended desktop!

So here's a request to all you people out there - I've decided to pick up a
new graphics card.

What I need is suggestion is which one is the best with Xinerama - I've
heard Nvidia cards support a feature called TwinView, but is it similar to
Xinerama ?

Request your views and suggestions on which card to buy for this
functionality.


Thanks!

Prasad
