  Q.A15- Can I use more than one video card in the same machine with
  XFree86?

  Although it is technically possible to use multiple PCI-based SVGA
  cards in the same machine, none of the servers currently support
  this. 

  The VGA16 and Mono servers are both capable of running both a VGA
  compatible card and a non-VGA compatible monochrome card in the
  same machine. 

  For XFree86-4.0 we are working on true multi head support.

However, if you don't want to wait and you don't have the $150 to spend 
on Accelerated X, you might try Metro-X Enhanced Server Set 4.3, which 
offers mult-head support for Matrox cards, as long as only one is a 
Mystique, for $39, in .tgz or .rpm formats.
