[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: [svlug] Hmm, XF40 not supporting dual-headed G400? -- Re: Dual-headed G400

I've got the G400 dual head as well. I recall that the second monitor
jack was limited to 1280x1024 at 60hz. This probably means that the usable
resolution is 1024x768.

I would sure like it if Matrox came out with a G400 version of the G200-MMS.
The G200-MMS is PCI where the G400 is AGP. Anyone know if Xfree86 supports
4 monitors with a G200-MMS?
