One of the traits of the displays is that my login screen would be on the ati (runlevel 5) and then my 815 card will show a block wherever I move the cursor and the display that is hooked up to the 815 card wil show a distorted display and evenually lockup.
Switching back to using the internal Intel 815 card as primary and the ati card as secondary, configuration of the cards is possible, but with a rather poor maximum resolution possibility with system-config-display. The 815 (primary) will display but the ATI will reveal the PCI information, but is not found later according to the Xorg.0.log file.

On another OS, I get the below ranges for the address ranges for the card.
ATI ati_m64: Interrupt Request 11 Memory Range FD000000 - FDFFFFFF Input Output Range D000 - D0FF Memory Range FC900000 - FC90FFFF
For the Intel 815 via linux, I get the below. I think the one range that is needed is incorporated within the Xorg.0.log, but not the other needed memory ranges. I really do not know for sure. This is just what I believe I can understand from the output.

If anyone has the slightest idea as to what I am trying to accomplish, your guidance is welcome.
I want to run the 815 card as primary and at the resolution of 1280x1024 and the ATI as secondary at 800x600.
