VERY weird.
However, I doubt OS4 supports dual graphic cards.
In fact, I'd be surprised if it even supported dual monitors on one HD4650.


Both P96 (OS4) and CGX (MorphOS) support mutible (different) GFX-cards well since Zorro-time. None supports spanning (1 screen over 2 monitors) or the 2nd VGA/DVI of any GFX-card.

Another issue is OpenFirmware/UBoot/whatever as those will normally only init 1 card while the P96/CGX drivers for the PCI/AGP-cards might expect them to be initialized.

Successfully tested and an AGP-Radeon9000 + Voodoo3-PCI (normal PC version, but doesn't matter as CGX will take that card "raw") in my QuickSilver under MorphOS2.7.

Similar options should exist for OS4.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
