chrisdarl Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I have a GeForce 8400M GS 128mb on my Laptop. It's pluged into an external LCD. I've got NVkush etc configured, CI + QE working etc.. However, my external monitor is the primary display, I cannot figure out how to switch it over? the NVCAP I'm using is shown below; 04000000 00000100 02000000 00000007 00000000 Any help is appreciated.

chrisdarl Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 It's a HP dv6599ea. I've tried several more NVCAP values, but no luck.. on boot in verbose mode (-v) I did notice a string saying NVDA::start(VGA) <1> NVDA::start(VGA) <1> failed and don't know if it's got anything to do with it?

chrisdarl Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Already had tried this, but after a reinstall of NVkush; set the device ID, added the NVCAP value "04000000 00000500 02000000 00000007 00000000" all works, now! :] CI + QE, both screens, mirror, etc. Hope my experiences can help others :] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118190-switch-primary-display/#findComment-839313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
