[LUG] Multi head with Jessie.

 

My Nvidia 290 cards are not up to DVI for the bigger monitors I have now. But I'm back on them now.

A Matrox M9148 worked very nicely under Wheezy. Matrox don't officially support that but it was fine.

Matrox will not at present advance their drivers to current Ubuntu etc, or to Jessie. I know, caught out by bloody proprietary software.

What would the panel choose?

Most demanding use is photo-editing.

I could live with a good twin headed card, can actually find uses for 3 monitors, and actually have 4 racked up here.

Nvidia?
Radeon?

Models?

I can make no sense of the published abilities of them vs the demands now and in a few years of the software.

PCIe 16 better than 1 for this? I have both slots.
