Thanks for all of the helpful comments, all. It looks like nVidia in

various flavors is a better bet.

Thanks.

    Rod,
    ...and here we're recently using  NVIDIA GPU Quadro K2200 under
    CentOS 6.  We've used multiple cards, 4 screens each.

        Hi All.

        This isn't specifically about EPICS, but I don't think it is too
        far off topic. We are looking for PC based video hardware that
        can provide well functioning multihead video support for use in
        a control room console setting. We've had a bad experience with
        a particular model of ATI cards that don't seem to play well
        with Linux. I'm just wondering what others are using that will
        support console PCs with 4 and 6 monitors each of resolution
        1920X1200 or better and operating as a single Linux desktop for
        display of EDM screens, and sundry other control system
        applications. We presently own a large number of monitors, which
        were purchased for compatibility with the ATI cards, meaning
        that they all have Display Port interfaces for attachment to the
        video cards.
        Thanks.
