Right off the bat I can think of a few things...
First of all, I'm no expert on extra monitor setup within 98. I've done it before a couple of times, but only with 2 video cards, not 3.
It's supposed to be able to handle up to 8, but how many desktop systems do you know of have that many slots free anyway?
Someone had previously posted something about not being allowed to use two PCI video cards at the same time, if so, I disagree, because that's how one of the office systems is right now (2mg trident, 2mg matrox)
Since it is an ATX layout, when you added the new video card, you might have mixed up the mouse and keyboard connections. They're both PS/2 and next to each other, so it's easy to put the wrong one in. I've seen systems that either don't work, or boot up irregularily if that's the case.
Not sure, but I know on Xpert 98 cards, there a jumper for IRQ use. I wonder if having that selected on one/all cards is having an effect.
That's all I can think of for now.
