Ok, it seems i have a slight problem. I just installed a Matrox 220 into my PCI slot and hooked up a second monitor (the other adapter is a 3DFX VooDoo 3 3000 on AGP). WIndowz 98 won't let my Voodoo be primary display anymore, the option is there just grayed out. Is there anyway i can make it primary through say registry maybe?! Win2k lets me do this fine.

popcorn good. sex better.

I believe there may be an option in BIOS to define what will be your primary display card - if you have one AGP card and one PCI card, not if 2xPCI.
Having said that, I spent a couple of weeks trying to run duals on two cards, and ended up chucking them both and getting a dual-head (Matrox G400) card. Made life a lot simpler.
Just out of interest, are you getting working displays on both monitors?
