According to my NOTE #2 it's possible ...

Second display probably has no signal or unsupported signal (LED blinking and
display seems to be off).

I've tried to swap the connectors, and the result was the same.
The problem is always with DVI-I-2.
If I try to boot with monitor connected in DVI-I-2 only, then I see post
messages
and GRUB, but once the kernel starts booting and activate the framebuffer,
then the screen on DVI-I-2 goes black (and LED starts to blink) and the rest
of the kernel boot messages is being displayed on DVI-I-1 (disconnected at that
moment) ....

That means ... DVI-I-1 always works, DVI-I-2 never works
