Howdy All -

I have Gigabyte EP43-UD3L motherboard with a single PCI Express 2.0 x16
slot. It currently has a decent NVidia card - a GeForce 7300 GT. I've
got two monitors attached, one via the VGA port and one via the digital
video port. It works well, I get accelerated X and wobbly windows and
all that silliness. Guilty pleasure: I like eye candy.

I'd *really* love to do triple head - the monitor in front of me for my
main work, and the two side screens for supporting stuff.

I am wondering, since my motherboard has a four PCI Express x1 ports and
I see PCI Express x1 video cards for decent prices, if I can either
replace my single card with two identical two-port X1 cards, or just add
a single X1 video card to what I already have and get triple head.

Has anyone done this?

Sorry it's been so long, but I thought I'd tell you what I found. I got triple-head (three monitors) working on F17 using the ATI FirePro v4900. It has one DVI port and two DisplayPorts.

I used two DisplayPort to DVI adapters, and I now have three 19" Viewsonic flatscreens set up and working great.

Even cooler is I am using the native driver in F17. I have Gnomeshell working just like I like it, and it is freaking AWESOME! I've also run it with RHEL 6 and it's also perfect - desktop effects works great!
