I have just be given a second monitor from a friend who wanted a flat-screen
LCD screen for his Windows box. I think that it would be cool to run X with
two monitors but I have never seen this done before.

Would it be better to buy a single video card that has two video outputs or
add a PCI card to my system? I already have an AGP card.

Also, if you have a PCI and AGP video card in NetBSD, how will NetBSD
configure both of them? How does it decide which is the default video card
to use?


Thanks,
