[clug] Decent video cards

I'm going to shell over some hard-earned to Cougar for a new workstation. I'm 
pretty happy with what I want, except I don't know how to choose a video 
card.

Ideally I'd like a dual-head arrangement, DVI into a pair of LCD screens with 
Xinerama. Last time I used Xinerama, it disabled hardware acceleration (on a 
Matrox G400 analog card). I'd really like hardware acceleration to work 
across both heads. I'll take analog outputs if that is all that is available.

I'd also like GPL'd drivers, but I'm willing to compromise for the sake of 
hardware acceleration.

It needs to be reasonbly affordable. (ie less the cost of the screens :)

Has anyone put a setup like this together recently? Recommendations for a 
manufacturer and model?

Brad
