Finding the bios setting is the best solution, but I have an old system that had no such setting, so while I would get text from the PCI card during bios and bootup, when the OS would try to auto-sense the graphics hardware, it would always choose the integrated graphics card first. This was true with full Linux distros and Windows.
Assuming you can't disable the integrated card in the BIOS, find out (or guess) what driver is being used for the PCI card. You may be able to boot Knoppix to see what it finds. When you know what Xorg driver is being used, you can set this in lts.conf. For instance, if you are installing an NVidia card, you could add: XSERVER=nv This should cause the integrated card to be ignored. -Todd Jason Maas wrote: > Hi DenisG, > > On Fri, 3 Nov 2006, DenisG wrote: > > >> I'm now trying to make it accept a PCI video card in place of the >> integrated AGP chip, and it doesn't want...
