enabling both PCIe and onboard graphics..

[Akinetopsia]

hi,

 

i've been running Leopard (10.5.2, recently 10.5.4) for some time, and it's running so flawlessly that i ditched windoze pretty much for good (ok, i still use it in parallels once in a while..)

 

Now, this is not really a problem but more of an annoyance: I have an onboard GMA 950 wich is supported and works perfectly (QE, max res. etc) when i set it up as the primary adapter via the bios. Now, i also have a pci express nVidia 8600 GTS, wich also works perfectly when i put the priority to pcie... (dual screen, 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 on my main screen, QE, etc with nvinject)

 

I can switch to one or the other between reboots, but i am unable to have them both enabled at the same time, like i used to do on windows.. Normally, leaving the priority to the onboard adapter would still allow the nVidia card to be detected by windows.

 

Is it possible to do this under leopard, and if so, how ? I'd really love to use that extra lcd that's picking dust to complete my matrix-style setup here ;]

 

the more real estate, the better..

 

thanx!
