 I have a computer with a nvidia integrated video (GeForce 6100), and a
 pciexpress nvidia video card (GeForce 8600).

 I'm aware the GeForce 8600 is not supported by the accelerated nvidia
 driver on Haiku, but it failbacks to the vesa driver without problem, when
 dual screen is not enabled in the bios. But when it's enabled, the
 computer hangs at the end of the bootup (last icon on the haiku logo).
 When requesting Haiku to boot with "fail-safe video mode", I can boot
 normally to the desktop.

 When enabling log during bootup, I can see it hangs after saying:

 "loaded driver .... vesa" (probably for the GeForce 8600), then
 "AGP:get_ntlh_agp_info (index 0) (I don't have agp card), "Register_domain
 (4, link), then nothing more, maybe it's probing for more hardware, but
 after 10 minutes it's the same.

 At least it should start and run the desktop, even if only one screen is
 supported at the same time.
