Bug Description
If the system has multiple graphics adapters (the most common example is an onboard device as well as an expansion card), we choose one automatically, and sometimes the user isn't using that device at all (no display connected).
The workaround for this problem is to remove the device which is not being used (for onboard devices, disable it in the BIOS)

We don't currently attempt to allow the user to select which card to use; we
choose one device (the first?) and use that.
Please send lspci output; if there is a simple way for us to handle your
particular variant of this problem, maybe something can be done soon; otherwise,
this is a feature for a future release.
