Since I have long been two TFT monitors, I wanted this also finally use together. With the onboard Intel graphics card was not possible. On ebay I could then bid for a ridiculously low price an ATI Radeon X800 GTO.
the provided manual is mentioned that an extra power cable must be connected. An installation manual was not available, and on the Internet untraceable. That is why I want to mention that no extra power connector necessary and not provided, simply plug into the PCI Express slot - done!
In Ubuntu the card works with the free driver Easy and 3D (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx). If you connect a second monitor and assigns him to the side of the main monitor (1280x1024 here), then strike Compiz. This is due to the limited resolution of the entire image area, which is exceeded with 1280 +1024. So far, it is no workaround. In this case, it is possible to arrange the screens above the other, since 1024 +768 hardware side within the boundary lies.
