I have an Intel 865GBF Motherboard with on-board video card to which I recently added an EVGA E-GeForce 6200 256MG DDR Dual (VGA/DVI-I) Video Card into the AGP slot of my computer. I have dual 19" Xerox flatscreen monitors. The problem is that when I had the video card installed, I realized when attempting to plug in both monitors to the dual AGP video card that b/c it was the uppermost slot, only the DVI-I slot would accept the monitor, the VGA slot does not b/c the plug is stopped by a steel lip in the case. No problem, I thought, I would use the original on-board video card right? No. It seems that the AGP video card has somehow forced off/not allowed the on-board card to even sense a plugged in monitor b/c it says no signal. I looked through the BIOS but could not see how to turn both on simultaneously. Any suggestions please. It sucks to have to beautiful $400 monitors on the desk and only one is working.
