I've finally figured out a use for my 2 video cards and monitors. I have
a nice 17" attached to an AGP ATI Rage 128 (I say this like I should be proud of
it) and a circa 1994 CTX 15" monitor hooked to a generic SiS card. What I want to do is run
the console from my small monitor with a 800x600 fb and run X on the big monitor. This
should be as simple as making sure my BIOS sees my PCI card first and making sure X knows that
its looking for the AGP ATI card, correct?

I will only be doing text-based work on the smaller monitor. There is no reason for me to kill resources running X twice. I have a problem of not getting work done because there are DVDs I'd rather watch. This way, I can have a movie going on the big monitor and be getting my work done on the smaller done.
