Using Windows 2000 Beta 3, is there any combination of ATI 128 GL cards (All-in-Wonder, Rage Fury PCI or AGP) that will support multiple monitors (using multiple cards.) Some initial attempts have failed (using April ATI drivers and Windows 2000 build 2031)

Found a solution:
1) The secondary video card determines whether you can do multiple-monitor under Windows 2000. Currently ATI 128 doesn't seem to work, with current drivers.
2) Matrox Millenium G200, as the secondary card, seems to work very well as the secondary card. With ATI 128 (Rage fury or All-in-Wonder) as the primary card, and the Matrox as the secondary, Windows 2000 will do multiple-monitor very well. I suspect most video cards will work well when the Matrox is the secondary card.
(In my case, the ATI 128 is useful for DirectX games testing, and having the secondary monitor is useful for run-time C++ debugging)
