I read both your posts. It's not clear to me what video ports you are trying
to use. I've never encountered any motherboard with onboard video that
permits the onboard video to be in use simultaneous with any PCI, AGP or PCIe
addin card. I have read that such do exist. I've only been able to get dual
screen by using two ports from the same location, either onboard, or addin
card. I've had dual display success with ATI, Intel and NVidia gfxchips.

Hi Felix,
Thank you for reading my posts and providing some useful advice. I did
not realize there was a line drawn between onboard video and a
separate card. On that same machine, I have Windows XP, and it handled
the second display fine, so I thought I could also do it with Linux.
I have a PCI Matrox video card and a PCI ATI card. If I fill both PCI
slots with them, do you think I could get two displays that way? I
would just not use the onboard video connector.
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. I use no-ip, too. It's a cool company.
