I'm getting tired of fighting this, and seeing as the Matrox 550 cards have dropped in price, I'm sorely tempted to ditch the two old/disparate cards...
So I'd like to know about success/failure stories WRT the 550 card and 8.1?
Fwiw, I'm running SuSE 8.1 with a Matrox 450, no problem; dual head on two 19" Sony's. At home, using a Creative GeForce Ti4400, with dual head (19" Iyama and Sony 17"), and had no problems there either (SuSE 8.1). The Matrox is cheaper, but if you'll hope / plan / expect to play games, then there are other options, such as the Creative card (although you do have to download and install the nVidia drivers - haven't read your earliar thread, so don't know what problems you've experienced). I do have a 550 sat waiting to go into this PC, but haven't tried it yet, sorry. If something isn't broke, I'm wary of messing with it! :) Carl -- carl huber | wet web work glue London, Campaign's Agency of the Year 2002
