Dumb Question

This is gonna sound real dumb, but if anyone knows you guys would.
Can I run dual VGA monitors off the DVI-I connector on a X300. Now don't laugh this card is in my PC at work so I don't have a choice. It has a single DVI-I out on the card and a s-video out. I found a DVI-I to dual VGA cable, but when I hook it up, it will not recognize any monitor plugged in the the VGA2 end of the cable. I found this spec for this card on ATI site and it says this should work. Am I just doing something wrong, do I need a cable from ATI or Compaq/HP to make this work or am I just screwed? :confused:

It wont.. the svideo out will just mimic the monitor (meaning you cannot extend your desktop). You can purchase a new videocard for it (even most cheap cards come with 2 video outs).
