Well, I have both a VIS-EG/PCI and a VIS-EG/GSC in a C360, but it's 
running HP-UX and not Linux. 

Hardware-wise it isn't a problem, even though the GSC card isn't 
officially supported in a C360. You might want to check the boot 
consols config though, diagnosing display problems with that during boot 
isn't fun without a serial console. And if you want to have a graphics 
console, do mind the slot designations ... I wouldn't try to make the GSC 
card the console in the C360, for example.

Don't know how you'd go about configuring those in Linux though. In HP-UX 
it's rather simple but that doesn't help much...
