It is supposed to work on a FB console (no X) in order to play some Videos :) I'm able to use a usb to vga in order to accomplish this but, using the integrated Radeon was preferable. So, you're saying that it is probably a BIOS related issue, not initializing the secondary Video card. Is there anyway I can make sure of it? If the BIOS is not initializing it properly, I may be able to contact IBM about it.
