I need to do some experiments with Linux graphics. Or more specifically kernel-level mode settings. I need to use the DRM for it. http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DRM
Ignoring the technical issues of the above link, my immediate issue is that I can´t get my on-board intel 945G graphics card to work IF my nvidia card is plugged in. I need to use the intel IGP for video. I physically removed the VGA cable from the nvidia output and inserted it to the motherboard one, but I get nothing on-screen.
The only way it seems I can get output (from 945) is to open up my PC and remove the nvidia card. I don´t want to keep the nvidia card out permanently as my family uses the Windows on it for gaming.
I am hoping that this is not some ´feature´ of my motherboard to disable the IGP when a discrete PCIe card is plugged in.
Any thoughts, guys?
My motherboard is an ¨Intel Desktop Board D945GCCR¨
