If you have a DB-15 to VGA converter on your on-board connector the Mac 
will think that you have a monitor on it. Remove that and connect your 
monitor to the Radeon and you should be OK. If there is no connection 
to the on-board the Mac will ignore the on-board video. That's the same 
setup I have on my other Mac.
