I have a Compaq Evo 550 which I recently acquired from the 2003 era.
It has built in, integrated video (from Intel). I also, have an old
Nvida MX4000 card which fits in the machine. However, when the Nvida
card is in, I can no longer used the integrated card. Is there a way
to enable the integrated card too, so that dual monitors can be used?
I have tired looking in this BIOS to see if its a motherboard setting,
yet have not been able to find anything. Please note I have tried
this setup in both Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I made a typo in my last post. It should read that I have tired this
setup in both XP Pro and Kubuntu, not Ubuntu.

Don't see Evo 550, how about the model number (full) not just what looks
like a cosmetic name. There is 500 and 520.
