hmm I presume that the first one is the builtin (not removable) gfx 
(which is not supported :( ) and the additional one is supported and 
pluged into a pci slot (so removable but the one usefull)?

Afaik i don't think that it is possible to 'remove' (even logicaly with 
some strap or switch) the builtin gfx.
Anyway, it is possible to change the default monitor to 'graphics1' (as 
afaik here the pdc would recognise the additional gfx) with help of 
COnfiguration submenu at bootprompt. (may be MO cmd would help to get 
more accurate info?)

Or (into linux system) should it be also possible to create a /dev/fb1 
(MAKEDEV iirc) and change with fbset the default fb device to fb1?
