What is your proposed use? Perhaps > someone here can give you info? I've had terrible times recently. My laptop uses the "nvidia" driver. I had been using X with TwinView configuration for long. Sometime around 6 months back, one fine day, my TwinView setup stopped working. I can't recollect why. Since I've found nobody else talking about the problem, I believe my vga port might have gone bad. But when I saw the text in the wiki, I've regenerated some hope that it might be the X server which might have the support removed (but that would be the rarest case). I can't try install windows anymore because the entire hdd is already occupied by debian. So, with current "nvidia" binarly-only drivers, are people able to set TwinView.
