performer 2.4.2 does. the real question is wheather the graphics driver
supports multipipe OpenGL. most drivers don't. i had limited success
with NVidia at one point, but last i tried, i couldn't even get XFree86 to
come up and work.

if it helps, you can get two displays out of one graphics card with a
GeForce2MX with TwinView.
