[TriLUG] Display adapter and cable to monitor

[Wes Garrison via TriLUG]

Yes, but it should still be able to aggregate the DVI and HDMI links.

If you use 1 HDMI cable to the monitor and 1 DVI -> HDMI cable to the 2nd
monitor input, it *can* work.

Windows does this automatically now, but I've never tried it with Linux.

I may have a graphics card that will work for you, if you're not a gamer.
