I am really interested in finding out if anyone has had success with any PCI video card. Maybe this entire exercise has been doomed from the start? If so, at least we've all learned something! :o)

I use both PCI express slots for other cards on my workstations here and use PCI nvidia cards on Suse 9.3 x86-64 somewhat happily. I tried Matrox quad mms pci cards but they don't work under x86-64 with multiple screens and Matrox don't care. The PCI nvidia ( XpertVision FX 5200 PCI ) ones I'm using now use dual screens happily. Portrait mode not being supported in twinview by the nvidia driver is my only grumble. Matt.
