i am running windows xp and would like to run two vga monitors. i have a
graphics card with one connector and my motherboard has another. but when i
plug the second monitor into the motherboard connector it doesn't display
anything. i worked out because i have a graphics card, the onboard video was
disabled by the manufacturer. does anyone know how to turn on the motherboard
graphics and would it work for dual monitor if i used the onboard and
graphics card?

thanks,
Luke
 
Most mother boards are set up in such a way that the onboard Video is
disabled when a AGP/PCI-e Video card is installed.
Give us the name of your mobo and we will look into it

it is a foxconn 661fx7mf motherboard which i got with my computer in 2005. my
graphics card is an ASUS AGP8x 64mb nVidia GeForce 4 from the same time.
 
i am sorry to say that after checkin Foxconn website and various "help"
sites I was unable to find any info on your problem.
It seems that Foxconn set up their boards to disengage the onboard
Video(AGP) when you insert an AGP video card..........
