The Matrox M400 and M450 cards come in a dual display version which is
supported by XFree86 4.x.  Unfortunately, the second display has a
significantly lower resolution than the first, so I don't use it on my
M400.

That's a different issues, of course.  You can do that too.  The
machine on which I'm writing this has an M400 (AGP) and 2 Matrox
Millennium cards, each connected to a 21" monitor.  I'm also using x2x
to connect another monitor on a different machine, and also a laptop,
to make a total of 5 displays and 10 mexapixels, all controlled from
the same keyboard and mouse.  The biggest problem is the crick in your
neck :-)
