Sorry, I can't find any specs for a CQ62 with both ATI and NVidia.
There's a trademark name for the dual GPU systems, at least the
Intel-plus-something-else kind, but I can't recall it.
No, no- you won't. Both cards in the laptop are ATI.
The HTPC has an onboard NVidia, and a PCIe 16x ATI.
The HTPC/desktop is a whitebox quad core phenom on a ASUS MB (not
100% sure which) with a NVidia onboard pcie GPU, and an ATI Radeon
3450. There could be yet another GPU on there, but I can't remember.
That system is running 8.x FBSD (1 or 2- can't quite remember),
The start of /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be interesting, both for the
version of FreeBSD and the version of xorg-server. I don't think I
have anything with dual PCIe X16 slots to test.
I'll have to look closer at it when I get a spare breath, it is a little
intriguing.
and the laptop I'm installing 9.0-RC3 on, with the view to using
freebsd-update to RELEASE, because of the lack of Atheros 9285
support in 8.x (tried for hours, just couldn't get the bird to fly :( ).
From what I understand now, having been able assimilate what has been
discussed here and through google, it seems there is a conflict when
dealing with multiple onboard GPUs. What exactly is the issue with
getting an arbiter for FreeBSD? Aside from time, naturally.
Usually it's finding someone able to do the work that's willing to do
the work. The Foundation is funding some of that, and I've heard
they're interested in getting the KMS for the Radeon driver going.
Is there anyone here that _can_ do the work? What about mentoring? As
for the financials... thats something else to consider.
