M58p 7220 Dual Monitor Setup Problem

[jdunn]

I am having trouble getting dual monitor setup to work on a M58p 7220 AK8.   I have two vga flat panel monitors.  I have a DisplayPort to VGA dongle on the Display port and a monitor connected, as well as a monitor connected to the VGA port.  When I boot, both screens remain black, and indictae no signal.  A single monitor plugged into the VGA port works fine at boot.  A single monitor plugged to the display port remains black at boot.

I went to BIOS setup, Devices, Video Setup and set the graphics to use the integrated hardware.  Other than that, there is no selections to enable/disable the displayport or to set the displayport as primary or secondary.

What am I doing wrong?

Ok, figured it out.....with the setup described above, when the machine is powered on, the POST test and bios boot logo does not show up for about 30+ seconds....!?!?!?1? When it does, it shows up on the VGA port connected montior.  It is not until windows' boots that the displayport monitor comes on and becomes the primary display.   weird.
