video hardware advice and dual logins

[Chris Kottaridis]

I am putting together a machine and plan to run Fedora Core 12 on it.

I want to run with 2 monitors and am wondering if there is some
preferred video card I should buy that can provide two monitors.

I will only be doing web browsing and text editing and such. I don't
need anything fancy. I won't be runinng any games on this or watching
DVD's.

Is there any list of video cards that Fedora Core 12 is known to work
with in a dual monitor setup ?

What I want to do is have two distinct logins. So, I can log in as one
user on one monitor and log in as a different user on the other monitor
but just have the one keyboard. Basically, gdm running on both monitors
and hot switch the keyboard from one to the other.

Everything I have seen talks about setting up things to have both
monitors used by one user and essentially get one bigger monitor. So,
any pointers to how to set up dual monitors with separate users logging
in would be great.

Right now I login as one user and then start a VNC session as another
user and operate like that. I'd rather not do that if possible.

Thanks
