Two video cards problem

Well... the problem is I have 2 video cards in my system (i810 integrated into motherboard & NVidia RIVA TNT2 M64 in the PCI slot). In the BIOS I have i810 disabled and Riva declared as a default source for video. In the MS Windows this combination works just fine except that windows shows both of the cards in hardware manager, but as I said that's not a problem. The installation process of Mandrake works w/out problems. After the installation when the Summary screen comes up I see i810 as a source for video (maybe because this card is integrated). If I leave it as is then after reboot I get black screen and no other activity. I've tried to connect video cable to i810 connector but w/out any luck. If I change the source of video to NVidia RIVA TNT2 M64 in the Summary screen then after reboot a I get nothing but DOS like console screen with user input prompt and lots of error messages from which I figured out that X mode cannot start because of wrong video source or something like that (can't remember right now). If I remove NVidia card from my system all works fine because there are no conflicts between two cards.

 

My question is: is there any chance i can get Mandrake work with my NVidia card and how? Thanks!
