Dual display (xinerama GeForce2 P4B533)


I'm trying to get dual displays working on my system and I'm not having any luck.

I have 2 GeForce 2 MXs (one PCI and one AGP) and I'm using a ASUS P4B533 MB.

BOth video cards work fine by themselvves, however when I have both in at once the PCI card overrides the AGP one and never gets activated.

When I run scanpci it doesn't look like the AGP card is even listed. If I take out the PCI card then the AGP card shows up.

There isn't an option in the BIOS to select which is the default display, or really any AGP options aside from voltage.

What do I need to do?
