i just bought myself a new ATI Radeon 9250 card for my PC. Currently im using a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX PCI card. Im wantting to get my new AGP card up and running, but whenever i hook in the VGA cable to the ATI's VGA slot i get a check sig cable error on my monitor. The drivers have been installd for the AGP card and are all there and say they are working fine, but alsa the only vid card working is still my PCI card...
why exactly the AGP card wont send any signal at all is beyond me...

any ideas??? :tazz:

gave that a try, and yes it was one problem, but now when i start it all up it flickers for about 1-2 seconds (black screen) then cuts back flashs and goes white again, try'd messing with brightness and contrast there and that didnt work
