Multi-monitor Display Configuration ATI Controller requires Slot 1 to function properly Description When multiple monitors and video controllers are connected to a HP server, the ATI driver cannot locate the video controller if the ATI Rage IIC video controller is not in the first slot. Solution With the ATI Rage IIC as the first video device and a non-ATI video controller as the second device, all video drivers function appropriately. For multiple monitor installations, the ATI video controller should be in slot 1.
