How do i edit it to add the third card? preferablly so the third monitor is above the other 2

can't you use xf86cfg to configure your third monitor? this is a graphical configuration tool for X.

greetz,

You need to have matching Screen, Monitor, and Device sections for your new card.

right, got the card in now, after some minor bodging, how do i go about setting up the sections for the new card, the first card is a dualhead GeForceFX, do i need another Nvidia module for the TNT card?

lspci spews out

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0342 (rev a1) - the agp card

and
01:08.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15) - the tnt2

how do i go about stting up and using it?

Have you gotten anywhere on this yet???
