It depends on how output connectors are physically linked to the video
cards.

I think there are two possibilities out there (but note that's what I
heard, not actual knowledge):

    1. Output connectors are linked to a multiplexer, itself connected
       to both video cards. The multiplexer may be configured in the
       system BIOS or programmatically to tell which card accesses the
       connectors.

    2. Output connectors are linked to only one card (typically, the
       lower-end card). In this situation, the second card is used only
       to render buffers, but never to display them: the buffer is
       given to the first card which handles the display.

The latter situation is replacing the former one.

Hmmm, I wonder if our video subsystem has the required features, so keep
us posted of your progress!
