OT: Video card not recognized on Gateway E-3400
This is off-topic for this list, but you folks have a lot of
experience/knowledge, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I've got a Gateway E-3400 computer. lspci output is as follows:

This board has a built-in i810/815-based AGP video circuit, that is
turned off when a real AGP card is put into the AGP socket. The ATI is
in the AGP socket. Both of these devices work as they should (output
from the built-in when no expansion card; output from the expansion card
but not from the built-in otherwise).
I've gotten a second video card, with which I was going to set up a
dual-monitor box. It's a whitebox 64MB "BFG Asylum GeForce MX440-SE"
card. This card works fine in dual-monitor setup in a Dell GX-270.
However, this Gateway computer does not seem to recognize the card; at
least, lspci does not see it. There were no options in the BIOS for
choosing/setting anything related to PCI/AGP. I upgraded the BIOS to the
newest version available from Gateway's web site, but that made no
difference. Knoppix's version of lspci also does not see the card.
Anyone know of any glitches with this particular computer and video
card, or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
