I'm trying to get dual monitor mode working with my onboard video card. If my AGP card isn't in, the onboard card works fine. When I put the AGP card in, the onboard card shuts off. I never get to see the dual-monitor setup in the Display properties.
I have an Award BIOS (v6.00 PG) but I couldn't find a setting to turn off auto-sensing-removal-mode.
Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I tried the Init Display First option, but it didn't work.
Also, my AGP card is a ATI Rage 128 Pro with the latest drivers.

Most (if not all) systems disable the on-board graphics when an AGP video card is installed. You can however, use the on-board graphics to create a dual-display system using a PCI video card.
Good luck,

Well, drat. The thing is, when I put this system together I seem to remember having the dual monitor setup in my display properties.

Don't despair. Find someone with a decent PCI video card that wants to trade for your AGP card and you are off and running. You may also find a deal on a PCI card at a local dealer or on the web. I recently acquired two TNT2 16Mb cards for $10 each.
Good luck,
