Jaton GeForce FX5200  AGP Graphic Card

Dual video card problem

By Janice - usenet poster


I have a system with two video cards. One AGP and one PCI. The PCI
card won't work unless I change the bios "Init. Graphics Adapter
Priority" from AGP/PCI to PCI/AGP. Unfortunately, this causes the
initial boot up screens to go to the PCI card and it really confuses
the users with which card is primary and which is secondary in
Windows. All of the dual-monitor PCs on my network are AGP/PCI and
everyone is used to that. The vendor says this is just the way it has
to be but I have older dual-monitor PCs from the same vendor that work
with AGP/PCI .

Mainboard: MSI 865PE Neo2-P
AGP video card: NVidia GeForce FX 5200
PCI video card: Jaton 117PCI
Windows XP Pro / SP2

I also tried an ATI Rage 128 as the PCI card but it didn't show up as
a second video card in Windows Display Properties regardless of the
bios setting. It did get recognized in Device Manager correctly.

Any thoughts?

Use a video card that does not have to be initialized during POST in
order to work.
