RE: [Plug] Duel Monitors (The Xfree86 answer from their FAQ)


Q.A15- Can I use more than one video card in the same machine with XFree86?

Although it is technically possible to use multiple PCI-based SVGA cards in
the same machine, none of the servers currently support this.

The VGA16 and Mono servers are both capable of running both a VGA compatible
card and a non-VGA compatible monochrome card in the same machine.

For XFree86-4.0 we are working on true multi head support.

I was wondering if X supports duel monitors.  I have several monitors at
home, and I can get graphics cards anywhere.  If I put another Graphics
card in to my machine will I be able to get the duel monitor support so
that I can have 2 desktops running at the same time?
