I have an eVGA 8800GTS that I have two monitors plugged into.
DVI1 - BenQ 20.1" widescreen LCD
DVI2 - Westinghouse 42" 1080P HDTV
For some reason when I turn the computer on, the POST message stuff (as well as my GRUB bootloader) only display on the HDTV, from the secondary DVI output. On my 7900GT it displays on both! This is pretty frustrating because I have to have my TV on to select Windows or Linux. The only solution is to switch the cables, but when I do that, my main screen on Linux is my HDTV and I want it to be the Monitor! I think there might be a problem with my card, as the POST stuff should display on both monitors.
Should I contact eVGA about this? Or is there maybe a solution that I don't know about?
