Sparkle GeForce GTS 450, no second monitor.

Hi there,

I bought a new graphics card, I had an old Asus GeForce 7600 with 2x dvi and when I connected my two monitors everything worked right from the start.
Meaning that when the BIOS boots up, so even before the Linux Kernel comes live, I could see my two monitors working.
Now with my new Sparkle 450 GTS only one monitor works, since it doesn't even work in BIOS I must assume there is some hardware inconsistency.
Can you point me to what might be the reason for this?
Both dvi outputs work, I tested them separately, both monitors work as well. So what could be the reason here?

Thanks in advance.
Bill

If your card is like mine the second DVI output is DFP-2 instead of DFP-1. You will need to adjust your xorg.conf.
