Yeesh, I had assumed that those would work given their target market and
cost (not that I was considering one).  Good to know though, thanks.

Mike, do you have any information about the NVidia Quadro NVS 280 - which
is part of the Redhat certified Dell Precision Workstation 360n?  If it 
doesn't work dual-DVI, that might be worthy of a comment in the hardware 
compatibility list.

Thanks again,
