Introduction
Trying to install on a dual-monitor system --and the installer keeps choosing the wrong one? This is probably because Linux is loading its video drivers in an order that you do not appreciate.
The reason the Rage 128 card gets the bootup console is that aty128fb_init() is called first before rivafb_init() in the list of driver initialzation.
How to fix it
To modify this behavior, follow the example below which was tested on both a Rage 128 and an Nvidia GeForce2 MX card, at the installation boot prompt, enter:
video=riva video=aty128fb video=map:000111.. this will make VT's 1,2,3 rivafb and 4,5,6 aty128fb. For example:
install-text video=riva video=aty128fb video=map:000111 [ENTER]
