The onboard video may have been disabled in your bios due to there being an actual graphics card in the comp... poke around in your BIOS and see if you cant re-enable it... just a guess off the top of my head. HTH

You cant use your AGP video card and onboard card simultaneously as far as I know. =X You can purchase another PCI Video card (assuming thats what slots your Motherboard has left on it) and run it that way I believe.

For starters, we need to know:
Which video card you are using (Brand/model)?
Which OS?
What type of PC? (Processor, etc.)
Have you got the latest drivers for the card?

That should get us started, then we'll go from there :)

He's correct on that...didn't see that part of your post until I had already replied.

Me personally I'd run a second graphics card... your gonna have a hell of a time keeping performance up + color balancing on an onboard... Just my experience...

get a new motherboard with 2 pci-e slots and add 2 dual dvi videocards. Should be able to manage 2 1920x1200 monitors or 2 1280x1024 + 1 1920x1200 :)

Yea I was going to say that as well. AGP is a little outdated, It's all about PCI-E now. I dual SLI 9800gtx's for my setup. :D

AGP?? I've purchased a few motherboards in the past few years and none of them have an AGP slot... how new is this "new" PC? Just checking you didn't get ripped...

You need to run a second video card in non-sli/crossfire mode, OR you can get a card like the ATI 4870x2 which has 4 DVI outputs. This is what I use personally.
