Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was that I haven't seen an ADD2
card with a *single* DVI output that is designed to plug into a machine
that already has DVI output on the motherboard. I've bought a couple of
dual-DVI ADD2 cards that I've used in machines with no on-board DVI
connector.

I did note that with the dual-DVI card that plugging two monitors in
confused the BIOS a bit, and I had to wait until the card had POSTed
before plugging the second monitor in, but after that X worked just
fine. Could have been a bug in the BIOS; it was on an older machine and
I didn't look into it much.
