Hmm, sweet. I was going to put a gamer's card in at first, until this monitor
came along. Now the focus has shifted to a full-on graphics workstation.
Linux support for the video is an absolute must, as is the ability to run both
screens independently. If I can get Sane to talk to whatever scanner I end
up buying, I can run all my image processing in Linux, and keep Windows for
email and games.
Looking at Matrox's website the Millenium G450 (I presume it's a newer
model of the G400) will only do independent resolution/refresh in Windows
ME, 98 and 2000. What a bummer. I can live with Windows but would
prefer to use Gimp in Linux (the Windows version is not as up-to-date). I'll
ask on a Linux list I'm on and see what is supported.
Thanks for the help,
- Dave
