There are more Rodolphes out here.... Rodolphe Suescon and Martin Lexa I
mean :) The name sounds strange to me, never thought we got two of them
here :) Sorry ...

I'm not sure about that, simply because there is no other driver
supoorting multihead yet (I got a NVRiva TNT as second board.) What I do
know is that the ViRGE is able to be booted first on multihead systems. It
maps away neatly for other drivers. But as I said, as long as there are no
other drivers supporting cold-booting cards, I can't test anything...
(Someone got a spare ViRGE ???)
