[opensuse-kde] Dual-Graphics hw, output on the wrong card
Hw: amd A8 processor with internal graphics amd grapics card on pcie slot Sw: Opensuse 12.1 , 13.1 I added a amd grapics card on my computer. I switched in the bios to peg graphics. Then I connected my display to pcie-card and booted my computer. Bios output,grub and console output come correct on the pcie connected display. At the moment kde-graphics started this video comes on the cpu-graphics output. The output i no longer use. No matter which videodriver i use radeon or fglrx. Where can i set that all output (kde) goes to the pcie-card.

BTDT struck forehead. Silly me! I forgot that all the X-Windows stuff is configured in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d Needed to change details of the graphics device. -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3?

Same identifier for BOTH Entries? Just one example out of many such. Perhaps the second over-rides the first, but is you are trying to define two devices, screens or otherwise, it would help to use different identifiers. -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3?

Just one example out of many such. Did not know that.

Problem solved for this particular case, I removed all the unnecessary items in xorg.conf. Thanks for all the hints, Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Note that most BIOS with a PEG option have more than one PEG option. Which to choose isn't always intuitive. Normally with the BIOS default selected the PCIe card becomes the default automatically. Regardless of the BIOS setting, xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf may need to be used to specify the default output, and for it to work you may need kdedrc to contain: [Module-kscreen] autoload=false -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
