Patrick When I did the same thing on an Intel board there was a BIOS option for whether the AGP or PCI should be the first/primary video device (the one that gets all the start up messages) there was also the option to disable the on-board video.
If you have two monitors you will see which is which when you start up. regards Steven On 1/29/07, elliott-brennan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi James, Thanks for that. I was under the impression that I'd have to disable the on-board vid first. I was contemplating having the new card not work and then finding out that I had NO video at all %) I'm assuming I will then see two cards in the system settings (Kubuntu 6.06) and can then choose the primary?
