Hi,
I've thought about kicking out my celeron 600 and get a new amd64 system (Asus A8V) - AGP because I want to reuse my old G400DH. I know that the binary drivers matrox supplies are only fuer i386... but did someone took the source and tried to compile it with xorg/xfree and amd64? Did it work? If not.. any suggestion for a new graphic card which gives me the opportunity to connect two CRT monitors to it (no DVI) and is supported by xorg (xinerama)?
Unfortunately the HAL is a i386-only binary provided by Matrox which is required for G400 dualhead. The source Matrox provides is just the same open-source driver with a few minor changes.
Is there a reason you can't use a DVI-to-VGA connector and use one of the various cheap, faster video cards with two heads out there?
