AFAIK, for around 60EUR you get something like a Radeon 7500 with
dual-head support (one of which is DVI and needs an adapter for around
15EUR if you want to connect a regular VGA monitor).  ATI is using
Linux support as an advertising argument, so this should be a pretty
safe bet.

I have recently bought a Radeon 9000 (partly for that reason) for
78EUR but don't currently have a second screen to test it with.
