Graphics Card as Primary display & HD4000 as Secondary display - HOW ?

Graphics Card as Primary display & HD4000 as Secondary display - SOLVED !!

********** SOLVED ! *********


Hi people,

i currently run main monitor via DVI from my nVidia 9800GT graphics card and this is where my desktop sits

i have a 2nd monitor connected via the 2nd DVI port on my nVidia 9800GT graphics card that i sometimes use

i want to use the HD4000 graphics from my Z77-DS3H via HDMI to my HDTV (my graphics card does not have HDMI) but i cannot find a guide on this site on how to enable my Graphics Card as my Primary monitor and the Intel HD4000 graphics as the secondary monitor.

i expect that it's just a matter of adjusting settings in the BIOS and setting the correct boot flags in my org.chameleon.Boot.plist but i don't know what setting to add/remove

please help

Well, this is what I did. Go into BIOS and set integrated graphics to be always on, set internal graphics to be first.
When I boot, it uses my second monitor, but once it gets to the login screen/os the graphics card takes over as primary.

This may not be what you want exactly, but it shows as my graphics card as primary in os x, and it runs with both gpus, so... *shrug*

thanks for your response Jerime

but without the correct boot flags, i get a Kernel Panic with your BIOS settings alone

please could you post a copy of your org.chameleon.Boot.plist so i can compare it with mine ?


thanks

Thanks Jerime,


i solved the problem thanks to your first suggestions and a simple boot flag;

Well, this is what I did. Go into BIOS and set integrated graphics to be always on, set internal graphics to be first.
When I boot, it uses my second monitor, but once it gets to the login screen/os the graphics card takes over as primary.and adding the following boot flag

i first tried booting from Chimera by typing PCIRootUID=0 as this is what has always worked for my nVidia Gfx card however combined with Intel HD4000 graphics, i got a KP

so i tried booting with PCIRootUID=1 instead and that worked for me


i've now added this to my org.chameleon.Boot.plist ;


<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>darkwake=0 PCIRootUID=1</string>


Like you said, boot defaults to the Intel HD4000 Graphics and then returns back to my nVidia graphics card where my main monitor desktop sits.


thanks man

Glad I could be of help.

I have just realised... i am not getting 1920x1080 resolution from Intel HD4000 however i am getting full resolution from my nVidia graphics card connected monitors
