I'm running SUSE 9.1 on an XP xw8000 with an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 AGP
card. The card supports two displays. Can anyone suggest how to get
multihead support from this system? When I attempt multihead setup in
SaX2, I'm told "Your system does not provide more than one graphics
device."

Thanks.

Multihead means two graphic cards not one

.... or one graphics card with two or more heads. Evidently SUSE does not
support one card with two heads... Ben Myers
