Kevin,

Yes. Not all video cards/chips are mm compatible. I've had great
success with the mm cards from Appian Graphics, 2 older Jeronimo's (5+
years old, still going strong) and 2 newer Gemini's (<2 years old).
They cost a little more up front, but they never have a headache.
On w/98 setups with two monitors, I've also had success with two PCI
cards, or 1 AGP and 1 PCI. I've used S3 virge 375/385's (probably dated
now) and also the All-in-Wonder Pro. Good luck.

Subject: gen: 4th monitor
Greetings,
I know many of you have experience with multl. dislplays.
I am running 3 monitors, one agp, two pci, using win. 98.
I tried adding a 4th card in my last pci slot and windows said that "One
or more of your video accelerators is not compatable with multiple
displays..."
Is it conclusive that only some video cards are able work with mult.
displays or is this possibly some internal problem with windows not
being able to handle a 4th monitor?
The two extra cards pci cards I am currently running are manafactured by
A-Open.
The video card I tried to use for the 4th monitor was a generic 8 meg.
Comp USA brand.
Any ideas here folks? Do I need to find a different card? If so which
ones work?
Help, please. I do not want to fork out 4 to 5 hundred bucks for an
appian or matrox card. I would rather spend 50 to 100 bucks for one
more pci video card.
Thanks alot all.
Kevin Miles
