The best cards for use undre XFree86 4.0+ for multi-head is the Matrox
series of cards. In particular, the older models work very well and can
usually be found in the price ranger you mentioned before. A good thig
about the older cards is that they are all pci.

I also have first hand experience with the S3Virge series of cards. They
work quite well under XFree86 4.0+ and can usually be found very cheap
in PCI form. Unforutnately, they dont give nearly as good a quality
picture as the matrox cards but they should be cheaper when found.

hope this helps
