My observation is (as I worked for more than 3 and half months till
Zoltan came for my rescue at last) that the multihead does not work in a
built-in AGP in motherboards like that of Intel and also it does not
work with the sis cards :( What I did was I acquired a new nVIDIA
GeForce MX 4000 card and exchanged the old sis card with the s3 Virge/Dx
and it worked perfect. :)

I posted this thinking that this information could be useful.
