Posting for a friend who does not have account.
Ok he just built new sys w/ evga 7950 GTKO & an ati x1300 aiw. He has a dual lcd setup. He wants to run both lcd's off the evga, & then use the x1300 for only tv tuner capabilities, but would still output thru evga (no vid connections off ati). Problem he is running into is he can get the evga to do everything its supposed to do, but when he installs the ati software, it requires a reboot. well upon reboot he is greeted w/ blank screens. it sounds like the ati is trying to take over video duties but of course no signal is going to reach lcd.
So question is, is there a bios option to set the "master" vid card? I know on some mobos, u could set which display boots first (vga, pci), but these are both pci-x devices.
He is also going to try & install the ati first, get it setup, & then install the evga.
Anyone else doing something similiar that can offer advice?
