Hi Felix,

Thank you for reading my posts and providing some useful advice. I did  
not realize there was a line drawn between onboard video and a  
separate card. On that same machine, I have Windows XP, and it handled  
the second display fine, so I thought I could also do it with Linux.

I have a PCI Matrox video card and a PCI ATI card. If I fill both PCI  
slots with them, do you think I could get two displays that way? I  
would just not use the onboard video connector.

Thanks,
Chris

P.S. I use no-ip, too. It's a cool company.
