Everything I've googled lead me to believe this wasn't possible.  I did
stumble across an interesting setting in the BIOS yesterday (which I
cannot find today) that implied something along these lines, but it
stated that it should only be used for Windows 7 and would have no
effect on other operation systems.

When I plug in a monitor to the on-board VGA output and the PIC video
card, the BIOS won't let the system boot.  I will try the hot-plug
trick to see if it works for me.
