You tell BIOS to init the AGP card first so it is the primary display.

That is plugged into what? On-board video, AGP card, PCI card?

I've never owned an ECS, but disabling will be done most likely in the
BIOS setup. How and where to do this can be found in your MB manual, or
online at the ECS website. Since many integrated video MB's share video
RAM with system RAM, it is important to disable the OB video rather than
something like change primary boot video.
