Hmm.. I know you can use two(and morre) graphics cards in there, but
gettting them to show the same thing is more tricky.
The Xserver under Tru64 understands about multi-head configurations and
will make all of the heads available as part of the display (mouse off the
left hand edge of one monitor and onto the right hand side of the next).
If you can't find any other way then I remember a package called something
like x2x which will forward one X connectionto another display, then you
could just use a PC at the remote end.
