In particular I'm interested to know if dual display and TV out works with ATI video cards under Linux. I'm pretty sure this works with nVidia boards under Linux. Im running dual head on a Radeon 7500. The drivers in X 4.3 have 2d and 3d support for cards up to the FireGL8800, and 2d only support for the 9500 Pro and 9700 Pro.
If you want 3d support on the newer cards, ATI has binary drivers on their website.
Anyone here doing things like that on an ATI?
As i said im running 2 monitors. I haven't tried TV out. DRI doesn't work on dual-head, and it will probally not be resolved untill at least X 4.4 I have an email from Mike Harris (X hacker at redhat) which gives a rundown of the support of ATI cards if you want a copy Alastair -- (o< - A l a s t a i r P o r t e r //\ V_/_ alastair(a)linuxexperience.com
