Hello Roland, the problem was that only one graphic card can be activated each time, so I'm afraid my bios does not support accessing both graphic cards at the same time i.e. for using two monitors simultaneously, even though both graphic cards are referred to as "primary card" and "secondary card" instead of "activated card" and "deactivated card". I switched the primary card from onboard card to PCIE card (nvidia) and the "xorg.conf" configuration with modelines worked in Linux and FreeBSD. I just had to add the DPI option "96 x 96" to decrease the huge font sizes on openbox. Thank you for your support, pointing me in the right direction. This issue is solved.

You aren't using the Nvidia card in this case. Did you forget to switch the HDMI cable to the port on the Nvidia card?
