Hi,
this is my first post, although I have been reading here for some time now.
I have big trouble with my Asus 7600GS (id 0392) and seem to be unable to fix it. I have read some posts that suggest that under Tiger it is possible to get this card to work, but under Leo... that's a different story.
Making a long story short: I decided now, to get a "cheap" NVIDIA (it's important to be NVIDIA) with dual monitor capabilities. My provider offers the following models:

VGA ASUS EN8400GS/HTP/256M PCI-e16X

VGA ASUS EN8500GT SILENT

VGA ASUS EN8600GT MAGIC

VGA ASUS EN8600GT

VGA ASUS EXTREME EN7200GS

VGA ASUS EXTREME EN7300TC512

VGA ASUS EXTREME N7100GS 512

VGA ASUS EXTREME N7600GS SILENT

VGA XFX GEFORCE 7100GS 128MB

VGA GALAXY GEFORCE 6600GT 128MB

Does somebody know for shure that one of those work with LEO?

I'm really satisfied with the 7600GS but due to that failure to function well, I've decided to put her aside until it's supported.

FYI: On that machine there will be nothing else than Leo installed, becuase I'm trying to build a workstation for AUDIO recording along my Tascam FW 1884. All cards listed above are PCI-EX versions. I intend to use two LG 20,1" flatscreen TFTs as monitors (resolution 1660x1050). I don't care too much about 3D acceleration nor QE CI, but it would be nice to have it.

I have an xfx geforce 7100gs and have been trying for months to get dual monitors working with no success so I suggest you don't buy that one.

If anyone has managed to get dual monitors working with this card I would love to hear how you did it.
