I have seen this  effect using an 815 card. I believe the memory ranges 
used for the intel, ati and radeon overlap when using dual configuration 
mode.

I have not seen any help with this problem to date. There are a limited 
amount of display drivers, maybe selecting memory ranges for the cards 
that do not overlap other cards memory allocation can be developed.
