Depends a lot on the motherboard and BIOS. Look in the BIOS and see
if you can enable both. Sometimes you can, but less often so with
old motherboards.
Also, from my experience with Linux, it helps if both the on-board
and the plug in video board are both of the same type: both Nvidia,
both ATI etc. I honestly don't know how you would do it with
different kinds.
My experience driving two monitors in Linux is driving both off
one card. That works like a dream. Mine is Nvidia. I just fire
up the Nvidia configuration tool, select the black monitor, enable
it in "twinview" mode and then I have an extra big desktop. I
personally don't think "twinview" is a very good description of
what it does as "twin" normally means duplicate. In this case it
means expanding your desktop. You might also mention what distro
and version you are running.
