Hmmm.  After a closer look, I can see both cards in the lspci output:

01:08.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a4) (prog-if 00 [VGA])

Must have had an attack of blindness first time around. Only the one on 02:00.0 is being seen by system-config-display however. These are identical cards, except that one is AGP and the other PCI. There may be some hardware involvement in this problem as the POST shows up on the PCI card, which is the one that is properly detected. I would have thought that the AGP card would get the primary role.

With my BIOS version, I can select the internal, AGP or the PCI as the primary card. For capabilities of your BIOS, running dmidecode reveals the capabilitied that your BIOS has. For mine, the excerpt from dmidecode shows the following. you migh look at the output on your computer to check on its capabilities.
