One possible solution is to physically remove one of the video cards; another option is to disable one of the cards using a kernel boot parameter.

In some cases these are specially designed to be operated by the Microsoft Windows operating system and bear the legend <quote>WinModem</quote> or <quote>Made especially for Windows-based computers</quote>. This is generally done by removing the embedded processors of the hardware and shifting the work they do over to a Windows driver that is run by your computer's main CPU.

msgid "You should avoid Windows-specific hardware for two reasons. The first is that the manufacturers do not generally make the resources available to write a &arch-kernel; driver. Generally, the hardware and software interface to the device is proprietary, and documentation is not available without a non-disclosure agreement, if it is available at all. This precludes it being used for free software, since free software writers disclose the source code of their programs. The second reason is that when devices like these have had their embedded processors removed, the operating system must perform the work of the embedded processors, often at <emphasis>real-time</emphasis> priority, and thus the CPU is not available to run your programs while it is driving these devices. Since the typical Windows user does not multi-process as intensively as a &arch-kernel; user, the manufacturers hope that the Windows user simply won't notice the burden this hardware places on their CPU. However, any multi-processing operating system, even Windows 2000 or XP, suffers from degraded performance when peripheral manufacturers skimp on the embedded processing power of their hardware."
