    Multiple Monitors - no onboard video... :(

    New machine, new install of 8.10

    Given:

    DG31GR Intel MB
    Q6600 quad core @2.4GHz
    ATI Saphire HD3850 card (2xDVI) (in PCIe x16 slot)
    4GB RAM

    1x Samsung SyncMaster 204B (1600x1200)
    2x HP L1906 (1280x1024)

    Can only get monitors to work off the VC, unless BIOS told that the onboard video is primary, in which case only the onboard shows. The monitor is fine, as is the video port.

    Have 2 out of 3 working well off the card, but the onboard is blank. It is getting VGA signal, but is blank. Killing X shows text in it for just a second, then off, using the card's monitors for POST and terminals.

    I can see that even with the below configuration, the onboard video card is sending 720x400@70Hz, for some strange reason...

    right now, xorg.conf is:
