Can't go wrong with the Matrox card, listed here (as dual supported) in
the release notes for Xfree86. FWIW. All the dual Matrox cards work well
with Linux, Suse configures them for you with Sax, if you use Suse.
3. Summary of new features in 4.2.0.
3.1. Video Driver Enhancements
An s3 driver is added, which provides support for many of the older
non-ViRGE and non-Savage S3 chipsets.
Some vmware driver problems are fixed, and the driver is updated to
take advantage of VMWare Workstation 3.0 features. These include
improved hardware cursor handling and support for 8 bit emulation.
Support added for Trident *BladeXP chipsets (currently
not-accelerated).
Xv support added for Trident TGUI series chips (not 9440 though).
Support added for the older Trident chipsets again for ISA/VLBus (not
tested)
Support added to the glint driver for 3DLabs Permedia4, GLINT R4 and
Gamma 2 chipsets.
Support added to the i810 driver for Intel i830 (tested on Linux only).
Support added to the ATI radeon driver for Radeon 7500 (2D and 3D),
Radeon 8500 (2D only), and Rage128ProII.
Support added for the Matrox G550 support. This included dual-head
support.
