“Matrox Graphics Inc. today announced it is the first graphics
card manufacturer to support single-slot DualHead cards on the
Linux operating system. The beta Linux XFree86 driver is now
available for download from the Matrox website.”
“This beta driver supports three DualHead operational modes
– Multi-Display, Clone and TV-Output – and up to eight display
configurations on the Matrox Millennium G400 series. Designed
with a unified approach, the Linux XFree86 driver also provides
DualHead support for the Marvel(1) product line, along with 2D/3D
support for the G200 product series and 2D support for the G200
MMS. Additionally, this driver supports flat panel output on
products which enable this feature.”
“Matrox’s unique DualHead Display technology is a cost-effective
solution that significantly enhances productivity. For example, its
flexible features allow users to run two or more applications
simultaneously on separate displays, or stretch one application
across two screens. A single-slot DualHead adapter also offers
other advantages, such as freeing up expansion slots for additional
add-ons and avoiding driver conflicts that can occur when using two
separate cards to support DualHead Display.”
