For you info

I have been in contact with a compny called Colorgraphic Corp
(http://www.colorgfx.com) that makes a dual headed video card that
supports 1600X1200 at 16 bits. And

YOU CAN DRAG WINDOWS FROM ONE SCREEN TO ANOTHER!!!

Two cards can be installed providing a contiguous surface in either
2X2 or 4X1 configuratioons.

The board is currently supported under NT W95 and .... The company is
developiong a driver for Xfree86. I have asked to become a beta site
when the software is available.

The ability to drag windows between screens has been my only hesitation
for using multiple windows (remember the MAC?). Also, the greyscale
dynamic range of monochrome monitors far exceeds that of color monitors
(e.g. medical imaging). I hope to have two color heads for development
and maybe to monochrome heads to support comparison of 12024X1024
imagery.
