 I'm investigating the possible use of PCs running Linux
 and Performer to drive a virtual reality "Wedge" system.
 Specifically, it has to drive two monitors at identical
 resolutions in stereo with synchronised vertical retrace.

 The system will have only one stereo emitter and one
 scene graph, but both screens are being viewed by both
 eyes. Full screen only mode would be fine, as would
 the two monitors being seen as a single device at the
 programmer level.

 The SGI 230 and similar workstations don't seem to be
 dual head capable and the GraphicsCluster is looking a
 bit of an overkill for just running two displays. Can
 anyone recommend a graphics card (or pair of PCI cards)
 that would do the trick?
