I'm trying to get a dual-monitor setup but it doesn't seem to work. I have an Ati 3D rage onboard agp chipset and want to put in a pci video card for a secondary monitor. The problem is that the pci card always takes over. I have read that i should use a video card which vga-bios can be disabled. Now is my question which pci cards have the possibility to do that. I'm hoping for some replies so i can solve this once and for all.

THX in advance.

Most likely the motherboard disables the onboard card if another video card is detected. In this case, the only solution would be to buy another PCI video card or get a dualhead card.
