Hi
I have a video card radeon hd 6950, has trouble finding the monitor number 2

Screen number 2 is connected with DVI into the computer.

you cant, it only supports 1 screen with a DVI-VGA adapter, i learned the hard way and had to go out christmas eve 2010 and buy 2 new screens

From what i remember its because the dual link DVI port does not work with VGA.
