Can RH 6 support 2 video cards, and can I select what goes to each card?
What I want to do is run something like XMMS for playing MP3s, have the visualisation plug in to to a video out (to my TV), and still view Gnome on my monitor (thru the "standard" video card.

I believe you have to be running XFree86 4.01 .It supports multiple monitors.

Also, the way it works is that let's say you are running both monitors at 1024/768. Your desktop will appear as one 2048/768 desktop. Not really two. Therefore anything that will run in a window can go onto any of the monitors. I am not sure, but I think that anything that would run "fullscreen" would appear on both monitors. maybe not.
