My guess is that this would be a driver problem with the one
of the cards and is probably not a configuration issue. Which
screen is the primary? Ie, which screen does the machine boot
up on? If you can go into your motherboard bios and switch
those around, you may have better luck with it. Some drivers
have problems when they are the secondary card.
