Hmm ... unfortunately, I'm not a programmer. I guess I'll have to buy another brand/card. I had a look at the ati driver manual <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ati&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html>. I checked many online shops, but I was not able to find a PCIe dual dvi card that is supported. The supported chips listed in the openbsd manuals are really old, and most available ati cards are radeon >= HD 5000. May be you have any recommandations?
Are there other brands I could have a look, I would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you very much for your help.
