Hi Bernd,
I just thought I'd mention that we recently configured an SL304
machine to use four monitors with an NVidia Quadro NVS 400.
Everything seems to work well with the XF86Config pasted below.
So far we have not had much luck with a Matrox QID LP PCIe card. I'd
be interested in hearing if anyone has gotten this to work.
Thanks,
Devin
