What video cards for a Desktop computer compatible with Linux can support Dual Monitors?
Our start up needs to use two monitors but our default enviroment needs two monitors, can somebody recommend a cheap Video Card that could help us to use two monitors?
I've moved to ubuntu from windows 7. In W7 I had 3 monitors on 2 graphic cards. 2 monitors work from ati card and 1 from intel card. In ubuntu I can't make it to work like before. Now works only 2 monitors from ati card.

Hello everyone!
I have been trying this to no avail. I am a linux newb, so a step by step explanation would be greatly appreciated. I have two video cards, nvidia geforce 8600 gt . I want a monitor to run on each card, so twinview cannot be used because my understanding that is only for single video cards.
I went to the system monitors tab and my second display is detected but disabled.
I just got given an ATI Radion Saphire HD 3650 card.
I have a vaio laptop with an ATI Radeon video card and an external screen.
I used to run dual monitors on Ubuntu 10.10 fine, but recently decided to upgrade to 11.10 via 11.04
I don't think it's the video card or the fglrx driver. It seems to be unity.
When I start up, the laptop screen is normal and the external screen is all white, although I can move my mouse over it.
I have tried to set up dual monitors using the provided ATI Radeon drivers as root. WhenI did, it told me that I would have to reboot and now neither of my monitors will work. It will show the normal boot screen, usually on both screens, but when it gets to the logon screen everythingis blank. I have tried unplugging one of the monitors during bootup but that didn't work. Please help.
I am looking to purchase a new video card and I want to run three LCDs side-by-side.
I normally would buy NVidia, but from what I have read, ATI is the leader in multi-monitor with their Eyefinity technology.
My Hardware
My motherboard is a ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3.
