I recently got a new-to-me video card:

There is also the onboard hardware:
00:02.0 Display controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)
It is currently connected to one monitor, but that'll change after this
is fixed. One change at a time.
The computer boots fine. The POST and bootloader show on both
card-connected monitors and the boot sequence shows on the onboard one.
but I can live with that for now.
I formerly had an Nvidia GX750, and something still thinks I have it.
startx runs but exits with error. Any idea where that's coming from?
I've done some investigation, but obviously not of the right things.
Try "sudo modprobe -r --remove-holders nvidia"
eben@cerberus:~$ sudo modprobe -r --remove-holders nvidia
[sudo] password for eben:
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:1998
kmod_module_get_holders() could not open '/sys/module/nvidia/holders':
No such file or directory
You can also uninstall the nvidia driver with "sudo apt
purge nvidia-driver nvidia-driver-*"
I'll do that after this one works. It's probably not a good idea just
yet, given that I might have to go back temporarily. Bot I can chmod
0 some items if needed.
