The BIOS shows internal, PCI, AGP or auto. The radeon used prior had to 
be used with the vesa for secondary in order to not lockup the server. 
(7200 woes). The error given for the server lockup, using vesa for the 
radeon card had the below output. The ati card just is not initialized. 
The resolution for my internal card is dropped down to some really low 
resolutions for screen choices. (800x600 or 640x480.)

Anyway, the two cards work with the bios settings. The PCI ATI steals 
memory from the Intel 815. The radeon card had 32 MB internal memory and 
the ATI has 16 MB internal memory. Somehow the configuration does not 
use the internal memory, but overlaps the memory used by the Intel 815 
way to achieve its 64 MB system shared memory.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Jim
