yes, that works. i have already been there.

it uses the AGP and i see nothing on the PCI card.

i have set this, except one card ist AGP here (1:0:0 and the pci 0:b:0).

even if xinerama is uncommented, they appear as 0.0 and 0.1. this is
correct, and exactly what i want. uncommenting xnerame behaves the same as
"xinerama" "off". hmm, at least it does here.

yes, all of this works fine. but my ttys are on the monitor connected to the
pci card. i dont think i can change this, because X has nothing to do with
those screens. thats why i wanted to boot from my AGP, but then the PCI
card is not inizialized at all.
