Ok, now I'm really treading down virgin territory. I have two (2) Diamond Stealth 540 video cards. I am running RedHat 6.2 and am wanting to run dual display. I also have two identical Dell monitors. The problem is:

Where do I find the information to configure and set up for dual display?

Can anyone point me in the right direction or a web site that has this info?

Any help would be appreciated.

hi;

I don't think that you need 2 video cards.
X is capable of dealing with both monitors if you install the necessary files, may be: xlkit or vnc. Read man X first.

good luck
