I want to run a second monitor on my computer.

Is it possible to put a second video-card in the computer and a second
keyboard on it. And then configure the X-Server so, that i can control the
monitor from different keyboards?

I am using Debian 5.

thx

tom

Here's an article about doing six of them at once:

Note the comments under "Problems:" near the end of the
article.
