PCI Dual VGA w/ HW MPEG

I am looking for an additional display card to go into my EPIA (M10k-N) carputers.

Currently the onboard display chipset on the EPIA is used for displaying the cockpit GPS/Music/Mixer/Diagnostics interface and it works fine for this.

However, the system is going to be expanded to add headrest VGA displays for rear seat passengers to watch movies (independently).

We all know that the CPU performance on the EPIAs is, umm, limited.

The thought was that if there was a decent dual PCI display card that had hardware MPEG-2 decoding then the EPIA would not be too terribly burdened while playing two MPEG streams (i.e. DVDs) while running the normal cockpit console stuff.

Can anyone recommend a decent PCI card that is dual out and has hardware MPEG decode and is decently supported under Linux? I'd prefer to stick with NVIDIA based cards if possible.
