This is horribly inaccurate: I currently have 4 in my desktop at home. One built-in video card on the motherboard (AGP, disabled); an ATI AIW-Radeon 9200 64MB AGP (that I haven't bothered trying to get working in Linux); a Nvidia GeForce MX 440 64MB PCI; and an Nvidia GeForce FX5200 128MB PCI. ...and I have all three of them (the ATI card and both Nvidia cards) enabled & working in both Windows and Linux. It's not weird at all... unless you find it weird having 3x 17" LCDs hooked up to a single machine, with a desktop spanning all three monitors...? (greedy, yes; silly, yes; but - even if I do say so myself - it _does_ look cool. ;) ... but now I'm straying horribly off-topic ... >And if it's not a silly question (Which bet it is) is it > possible to have two graphic cards > installed... One for XP the other for Gentoo? Definitely not a silly question. The answer is simply yes. You can even use both of them in both operating systems if you want. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
