I have an older motherboard/processor (Intel DG965RY with a Pentium D)
the system has an integrated video adapter (82G965) and I'd like to add
a second video Card (PCI card ATI RAGE IIC) I'm not looking for fast
video but would like to use 2 monitors.
I put the ATI card in the machine and an lshw shows the card:
-display UNCLAIMED
description: VGA compatible controller
product: 3D Rage IIC 215IIC [Mach64 GT IIC]
vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
When I first booted the system with the card, the BIOS made the ATI card
the primary and once X started the system went blank, changed the bios
to force the integrated card to be primary and everything works as
before, however I don't know how to tell X that there is a second video
card and to start using it.
What's the magic command that I'm unable to find? From the GUI I've
checked displays under system settings but I only see my integrated
video interface, and "detect displays" produces nothing but the existing
display.
Thanks,
Jeff
