When you say independent desktops I assume you mean dual-head, where both desktops are controlled by one instance of X and you can go between them by sliding the mouse across? Or have you somehow managed to get 2 X servers to share the same memory access? > I'll probably have another go this weekend. I did find that two video > cards caused the machine to lock up.

Shouldn't be a problem as far as the mobo is concerned- it's quite common for people to use them to run 4 screens (in linux or windows). Though I remember that there were stability problems when using lots of PCI cards and doing the multiple user thing. I don't think the current kernel/X/general linux setup lends itself to multiple concurrent X sessions. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
