Re: Linux: Use OnboardVGA for screen instead of GPU for more

It's not a driver install issue, because it clearly works already when just the GTX is active. I'm not saying the driver doesn't work, my guess is it's just not loaded by the kernel when the iGPU is active. Did you look at the info posted by ChristianVirtual? Until now I didn't, I had overlooked it...

Re: Linux: Use OnboardVGA for screen instead of GPU for more

Since you have 2 Cores and 4 CPUs, the GPU can use the Virtual Core and you can change the CPU from 1 to 2 since it will use the 2 Cores (FPUs). Thus, you will have 3 CPUs for F@H (2 for SMP and 1 for GPU) and 1 CPU for the OS. Thanks, I will give it a shot after I figured out a stable setup for my...

Re: Using Onboard VGA for screen instead of GPU to increase

Please note that using the default verbosity level of 3 is recommended instead of 5. Noted :-) I would assume that maybe you need Intel drivers on Linux too to ensure that both GPUs are fully functional. The Intel graphics drivers are open source and come with most Linux distros, so you generally d...

Re: Using Onboard VGA for screen instead of GPU to increase

Ok, so I don't do this for nothing, thank you :-) Here are the logs I promised: 1.) Default configuration: GTX crunching and connected to screen, Onboard VGA disabled, no problems: *********************** Log Started 2013-12-18T11:44:36Z *********************** 11:44:36:Started thread 1 on PID 992 1...

Re: Using Onboard VGA for screen instead of GPU to increase

Thanks for your thoughts. I will supply the logs when I'm back home. Meanwhile, I just wanted to say I don't plan to crunch with my onboard VGA ;-) What I was hoping for was getting more PPD from my GTX by moving the "burden" of rendering the screen to somewhere else. That way the GTX coul...

Linux: Use OnboardVGA for screen instead of GPU for more PPD

Hi everyone, I have a system with an Intel Core i3 550 and an NVIDIA GTX 650 Ti crunching for f@h. Currently I'm using the GTX for screen output as well. I tried using the integrated Intel graphics chip (iGPU) for that, hoping to get some extra PPD. To do this, I changed the BIOS setting for the Onb...
