If your graphics card have a VGA port and a DVI port then chances are your VGA port is the primary port. I think you should go into the driver and check if you have enabled dual monitor, because on some cards the second port is disabled until you enable it.

If it still doesn't work, you should try hooking up a monitor to your second port to see if that works.

Hmm... I have an 7300LE down in my computer and you can use whatever port your choose, you just have to plug it in at startup... same with my dual view FX5200. I'd think that your port is down...
