[G4] Video ports

[SLarsonIH at aol.com]

Hmmmm, that's interesting. When I used two monitors in extended desktop mode 
on my 8600 using the built in video and a PCI video card, I had everything 
turned on except the computer itself and then turned the computer on, and all 
worked well. Do I have to do this new step because of OSX, using one video card 
to drive both monitors or some other such reason?

This does bring me to another question. Is it even possible to use two AGP 
video cards in my MDD? (I do have a fast AGP Radeon card that I bought, 
installed, and then took out again as my machine didn't seem any faster and was much 
louder) Is there any good reason to pull the PCI card out of my 8600 and use it 
to drive the second, (or third!) monitor with it, instead of two off the 4MX 
card?

<< Hi Steve, you can use the two monitors together either as mirror or  
as an extended desktop. You have to start with the 2 monitors turned  
off and then wait 3 seconds after the chime sounds turn on the  
monitor plugged on the ADC, wait another 4 seconds and then tun on  
the one connected to the VGA port. >>
