Advanced Dock w/ ATI PCI-E card, laptop with NVIDIA chipset

I have a T61p that uses the NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M chipset. I purchased an Advanced Dock (250310U) and an ATI X1300 Dual VGA/Dual DVI card from Lenovo so I could connect two additional LCD screens. Unfortunately, Windows XP will not load when I dock the computer and turn it on. When I load Windows XP and then drop the computer onto the docking station, the ATI X1300 is recognized and the correct drivers are found BUT I get a "This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use" error.

Question: Is it possible to have both ATI and NVIDIA drivers installed on Windows XP (and have them function properly)? or do I need to find a NVIDIA PCI-E card for the Advanced Dock?

Thanks!

I got a T61 which comes with a NVS 140m. I got same message with you after I put in a Nvidia 7200GS video card. I'm going to return it and buy another 8400GS video card.

NVS 140m is 8400m, so I hope the 8400GS will work!

Thanks for the info! If you find one that works for you please let me know. I've just about given up on a video card for my advanced dock :(
