Not that I'd say it's not a good project, but the way it's worded makes
it sound like this would allow using screens requiring dual-link dvi on
X?00 cards work (those which have an external tmds transmitter, i.e. two
dvi ports). External dual-link dvi transmitter is very rare on x?00
cards AFAIK, there are some mac cards and some firegl cards, a (rather
expensive for the performance) 9600pro pc/mac hybrid but that's pretty
much it. The somewhat common usual X?00 cards with two dvi ports are
usually single-link only.
(The new X1?00 cards have two integrated tmds transmitters, the higher
end ones IIRC two dual-link capable ones, though those cards are
obviously a whole different story...)
