If you get the boot picture after installation of the BVision install disk, you need to change the Screenmode prefs so Workbench uses the BVision board. You can use your TV for this.

After installation of the BVision disk the Workbench graphics will not automatically be switched to the BVision board, you need to do this yourself.

I believe most people are using two monitors, one for Amiga video output and one for graphics card output. In your case it will just be a TV for Amiga video output and a monitor for graphics card output.

There is no problem in connecting a TV at the same time as you got a monitor connected to your BVision.

The best solution will be to have a scandoubler and the graphics card connected to a switch box. This way you can use one monitor for both video outputs. When you load some software that can't be displayed through graphics card you just switch, and as soon as you quit to Workbench, just switch back.

NOTE: The scandoubler is only needed in case your monitor can't display 15 Hz screens. Some new monitors are able to go down to 15 Hz, such as my Medion 15" TFT monitor.

---EDIT---

Nope, the Amiga video output isn't passed through to your graphics card. If it was so you would be able to see games loaded from disk through your graphics card, but unfortuanately this isn't the case :-(
