dual-head

[Justin Georgeson]

I think it's something in my BIOS. Along with the TNT2 I obtained a PCI 
Matrox Millennium II. With the AGP TNT2 inserted, kudzu did not notice 
the addition of the Matrox card or the removal of the Voodoo 2 card. 
After removing the AGP TNT2 card, however, both changes were noticed by 
kudzu. The discrepancy comes from the fact that lspci lists all cards 
properly, but kudzu and X don't see the PCI cards when an AGP card is 
inserted.

I'm now trying to get dual-head configured with the Matrox and Voodoo cards.
