Does BeOS 5 Pro support adding a second video card/monitor?

I did a little research and as far as I can tell the answer is "no."

BeOS through at least 4.5 would only recognize the first supported video card and ignored the rest.

Dual-head cards were rare while BeOS was being developed, and the most likely candidate (Matrox) has done a pretty thorough job of expunging BeOS info from their site. If there were BeOS drivers shipped with the G200MMS they might possibly offer some help, but I wouldn't hold out much hope.
