Public bug reported:
Hi everyone,
I've got a strange problem. My system has two nVidia graphics cards. A 7600 and
an 8800 GT. The 7600 is configured as the boot device, the 8800 is the
secondary.
When I boot I get the POST and Ubuntu splash screen on the monitor(s)
attached to the 7600. The gdm login prompt gets displayed on the 8800
monitor (using the nvidia driver).
That's normal, what's strange is doing a lspci, the only VGA device detected is
the 8800 GT. (See lspci -vv, attached)
When I open nvidia-settings it can only see the 8800, which is not suprising
given lspci also can't see it.
What is really strange is, when Ubuntu starts up in safe graphics mode
it uses the 7600. How can X use it when lspci has no idea it exists?
Both cards are will work if they are the only cards in the system.
Obviously, my question is how can I get both these cards to work.
Thanks,
Will
