<P><FONT SIZE=2>My Geforce 3 Ti200 does a great job of this in windoze. I, however, have not tried the dual video out in Linux yet but I have read that it works just as well after a couple of small changes to XF86Config. I do know that the Geforce 3 OpenGL drivers direct from NVidia work quite well in Linux .. better than windoze as a matter of fact ( I get about 10 more fps in Linux than windoze in Unreal Tournament). :-)</FONT></P>
