Help with multiple video cards.

I have what appears to be a minor problem. I am running a system with an
onboard Intel video processor and the system also contains a PCI video card.
In the systems BIOS I have disabled the onboard chip (Intel) and set it to
use the PCI card. Install goes fine. The problem that I have is that when
I start up Photon for the first time it says it has found a new video card.
Still no problems. I tell it the driver to use for my PCI card and Photon
starts up fine. I finish doing what I have to do and reboot the system. I
get back into photon and it works for about 5 seconds then freezes up. I
finally get photon to boot up with the regular VGA drivers and photon works
fine. Could this be a problem with having the two video sources? Are there
any known issues with onboard video chips?

Thanks
Chris.

Hello Chris,

Could you post the output from ‘pci -vvv’?
