Does CentOS support dual graphics cards with 2 monitors each?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have a user who wants to have 4 monitors attached to his CentOS 6.4 system.  I know that you
can't use both on-board video and a PCI video card at the same time, but what about two PCI
video cards?  The system seems to recognize them as shown by the lspci -v output below, but
I can't get Xorg to use the second card.  Has anyone done this?  If so, what is the trick to
get it to work?
