Dual (or triple) Displays with G4?

[applesos]

I have a Sawtooth G4 with a Geforce 4MX AGP graphics card, which has been working without issue. I also have a PCI graphics card from AMD, which I had purchased for another project which ultimately was unsuccessful (machine I was working on completely died).

I attached the PCI card to my G4 yesterday and while it definitely runs I haven't been able to switch the monitor over to the AGP card without rebooting- possible that's just because it's not booting with a monitor connected to that card though. I'm wondering if anybody else has had success with a sort of janky dual-monitor setup running like this, and what they had to do to get it working reliably.

Easiest way is to get a AGP Radeon 9000 Mac edition and use DVI and ADC if you have that monitor type.

That makes enough sense. I just checked and luckily enough the Geforce I've got installed in the AGP slot actually has an ADC input. I have so many VGA monitors laying around I never bothered to see what else was on the backs of these... Picking up a G3/G4 era CRT Studio Display (21" I believe) so that's very convenient.
