Setting up dualies…

by alan . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

I’ve bought a Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 PCI video card (with one output) assuming I could just plop it in and plug in my 22″ Acer widescreen sitting next to my 17″ inch Acer plugged into the onboard unit. Apparently it’s a little more complicated than that.

At first Windows wouldn’t even boot, so I booted in safe mode and disabled the onboard card and then I could boot up normally, but obviously I only have one monitor this way.

I guess what I’m trying to ask is if there’s a way to get both the PCI card and the onboard card enabled and ultimately both monitors up and running.
