Default Dual display problem

Hi all:

I have a PC (Asus A7V-266E) with two Matrox G200 cards, one AGP and one PCI
in it. My two monitors are an LG 995E on the AGP and a Samsung 900p. The
setup works fine in XP. In Slack 9.0 I have a problem. If I set the bios
to initialize the AGP card first, then the PCI/Samsung display is blank.
The display is there since I can see it in the KDE desktop pager. If set
the bios to initialize the PCI card, then all works fine.

Any ideas,

Nuz

Yeah. Let the BIOS initilize the PCI card, then everything will be fine.

I have a similar situation, basicly let the PCI card go first, if it's any
consolation, Win2K suffers from it too. PITA I know, and a half decent dual
head AGP card comes in at 100 quid round here too
