Hi,

does anybody know how to set up two (or more) monitors via two graphics cards? I am new to Linux so please be patient ^.^
Greetings

I have no idea if you can with the tinyx xservers...

but if you plan on using one of the XFree86 extensions, there's several guides out there that could help you out.

if by 2 video cards you mean a video card and the stock video built into the motherboard... then i, i heard its not posible because you have to disable the onboard chip....

i would just buy a video card with 2 outputs( probably vga and dvi)
it might be posible with 2 other video cards but it would be very hard to do on linux...
