How to configure dual graphics card in RHEL 5 and RHEL 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I currently have a machine running RHEL 6.2. It has a PCI Express video card with dual monitor outputs. I am using 2 monitors. However I'd like to upgrade to a triple monitor setup. My video card only supports 2 monitors though. If I add another, different model graphics card to my PCI slot, will I be able to run a 3rd monitor? Or will RHEL not play nicely with 2 different graphic cards?
