if you are still using 4.3.0 try a cvs snapshot. there were some fixes
related to multiple cards a while back. There is also a problem that
comes up sometimes where multiple cards won't post properly (related to
the ROM as I recall). I'm not sure if this is causing your problem or
not. Also, FWIW, the chip in your laptop/docking station can drive two
monitors (LCD plus external vga port).

I have a dell laptop with a docking station. I added the second card
to
the docking station. I originally had another vid. card in there, but
the
resolution was 1024x768. My primary display was 1280x1024 and moving
between two looked like crap, so I upgraded the card in the docking
station. Setting it up in the first place was very straight forward,
but
this second time around I am having a hard time. I figured it would be
simple since they are using the same driver, but somehow I believe that
is
my problem. Anyway, I have tried all sorts of options in the device
sections, but nothing works. I can only use one card at a time.
Meaning
that if I disable either of the screens the other works just fine, but
I
cannot get them to work together. Here is my config file and the log
file
to follow in a second email (using webmail):
