No, the other cards should be able to software-render... However, in a setup I used earlier (GeForce2 GTS AGP/Rage 128 PCI) OpenGL apps that were started from the nVidia head would display only there, whereas those started from the ATi head would software-render on both heads.

Do you know if installing the Nvidia OpenGL stuff would have any adverse affect on software OpenGL rendering on the other cards? At least that might be acceptable until I can figure out how to get around that limitation. I suppose I could also try to figure out a good setup for swapping the libraries before I start X to decide which card(s) I want to have 3D hardware capabilities for that session. Maybe I should do some research and see if anyone else is trying to work out anything for this. If not, maybe I can see about writing some sort of wrapper gl library than can call whichever GL library based on which module calls it. Thanks for the info.
