How do you go about adding a second video board to a beige G3? I don't
mean the obvious physical installation, but is there a way to disable the

"master" monitor?
I've done multiple monitors in Windows 98, 2000, and under linux. I have
no desire to do multiple monitors anymore,b ut I would like to possibly
replace the onboard card with an ATI Rage 128 from a B&W (at which point
I'll take up the next monitor attempts, again.. heh).
No problem. Just add the card and plug in the monitor to the card. Your Mac will sense that there is only one monitor and will ignore the built in Rage until you plug a monitor into it. I am running a Radeon 7000 in a beige with nothing plugged into the onboard monitor port.
