My friend just purchased an ati radeon ve (agp) (dual 15 pin connectors), and wants to use it in conjunction with an older trident 8mb (pci) card to run a 3 monitor configuration. I've seen others with 3 monitor setups, but all that I've seen were using 3 separate vid cards. Any ideas or suggestions/experiences on how to get this setup to work? Also, his monitors are mainly IBM types. I would really appreciate your feedback on this! Thanks!

Problem fixed! Apparently, the trident PCI card was the problem. We replaced it with an S3 PCI card, and it works like a champ now! The VE splits the display in half between two monitors, and the third monitor displays as a "secondary" monitor.
