This _is_ _not_ the correct discripton for Chip 1 - Chip 1 is PCI _NOT_ AGP
That is; _both_ video controllers are _PCI_ - a hardware requirement for
dual monitor use of the Intel I81x chipset series.

This is not a flaky BIOS as I first thought, it is a hardware requirement.
Ref:
Intel 815 Chipset: Graphics Controller; Programmer's Reference Manual
Section 2.3.1.1 Supported Single Monitor and Multi-monitor Configuratuinsl
"For modern operating systems that have multiple monitor support, the primary
graphics device must not be the Intel 815 chipset graphics controller or
an AGP graphics card. These devices [internal gc or external AGP] can only
serve as secondary graphics devices in a multi-monitor configuration.
It is important to understand that there is no support for simultaneous
operation of the internal graphics device and an AGP graphics card."
>
Note - this installation: The internal graphics device is PCI 0:2:0
The external graphics device is PCI 1:2:0 _and_ _not_ an AGP card (it is
physically impossible to put an AGP card in this system).
This configuration conforms to the first column of section "Multi-monitor"
in configuration table on the page following the above quote.
I.E: Primary monitor - Non-AGP (PCI) graphics card
Secondary monitor - Internel Graphics
With this hardware setup, it is important that sax2 detect the primary card
as an ATI _PCI_ card not as an ATI _AGP_ card.
(If your keeping score, this is problem #3 with sax2)
