Forums -> Multiple monitors -> S3 3D/RIVA TNT problem in WinMe
mancjew   2001-10-29 16:43
I'm trying to install 2 video cards for 2 monitors on a Celeron300A
machine
In Windows Me of course.

I have 2 video cards
1. Savage3D 8MB AGP
2. RIVA TNT 16MB PCI

I have problems making the S3 as primary. I am using the s3 normally
and then added the TNT (not on 1st PCI slot as that would be primary
as well so I have been told).

When I boot up the TNT acts as primary and I got weird system beeping
sounds.
Unlikely Windows boot up but got an ! exlaimation mark next to my S3
video adapter. All the drivers are updated and should be working fine.
I've tried using each one on its own.

Now what can be the problem that I cant use these 2 cards at the same
time?
Or there is some setting in the BIOS i should change. I've tried
looking but cant find anything useful.

Thanks for any advice!
Cheers

Try setting the AGP card as primary in BIOS, see the FAQ for details.
