    Dear all, please help me and don't flame me immediately
    because I've already read all the topics here about
    multiple gfx cards (It took me some hours... argh! ;)

    What I need is putting THREE gfx boards on my PegII.
    One should be the main one on AGP, i.e where desktop and
    programs mainly run. Plus two identical PCI ones.

    The main AGP card must be very fast and have crispy
    image in 2d, at least like my actual Radeon 7000 Sapphire
    (3d acceleration not strictly required but no bad if
    present). The two identical PCI boards are to be used
    as framebuffers, so a decent image quality is needed
    even without particular speed performances.

    Unfortunately I've well understood that we poor mortals
    with MOS 1.4.5 cannot mout any additional gfx card
    if the AGP one is a Radeon, so what one ? I heard that
    the other supported cards (aminly Voodoo) don't excel
    in 2d quality. Also I read that radeons PCI don't
    seem to work properly. So I should end up with three
    ugly Voodoos ?

    Any suggestion about which cards to use in this combo
    and any related hints is welcome. Thanks!

    Well, what's available in MorphOS really has nothing to do with the firmware as such. Ask him to abort the boot sequence while inside the firmware (black screen, white text) and ask him if there's a picture on both monitors.

    I'll ask as soon as I hear him!
