A couple of years back, someone was asking about disabling onboard VGA
in order to run a PCI based graphics card.

My question is this: Did anyone succeed and if so, how?

I want to install a TNT2 Tornado and am having problems.

TIA

I just downloaded the manual for your board and can not find anyway to
disable the onboard vga.
You could put the PCi card in, change the init display first to pci in
the intergrated peripherals section of the bios, put the shared VGA
memory down to its minumum and then disable the card in windows.

The problem here is that you will still lose some memory to the internal
VGA chip.

you must change the Inti display to PCI otherwise you will not see a
display once who got the monitor on your PCI card. which may be why you
are having problems.


You may still have problems, I got a computer here at the moment, I am
working on, which got a internal VGa chip, that can not be disabled.
the PCi card works for a while, then it just locks up for no reason at
all and yet it works on my test machine.

I already have the manual and I, too, can find no reference to disabling
the onboard VGA. However, a previous thread of two years back quoted a
mesage from the maker to say that the VGA is automatically disabled when
a Video card is slotted in. The problem here is that it does not work
with my machine and I was enquiring as to whether or not any else had
had success.

Not if I drop onboard VGA memory to zero. Not that it matters as I run
320MB of memory.

What is "Inti"?

At least you are getting it to boot up.

Cheers anyway

It may do,but i ddoubt it as some people use more than one card, for
multiple monitors.

with my machine and I was enquiring as to whether or not any else had

You got to make sure that the PCI video card is the first on that start up.

Sorry, that is meant to be init, whiich is short for initial.
Plug your monitor into your one board video socket to do this.

In your bios, go to Integrated Peripherals setup.
On the right hand side four places down in the menu is Init Display
first, make sure that is set to PCI slot, not AGP.
Exit the bios, and save settings.
Now plug you monitor into your new card and reboot the computer, you
should now get a display, if not, then I really got no idea.

At least you are getting it to boot up.

Do what I put above and see if that works.
