Intel HD 3000 Graphics + AMD Radeon HD 6870

[ttimpe]

So I just a few days ago built a new system and my AMD Radeon Hd 6870 is working fine with full resolution with GraphicsEnabler=Yes

I would love to use the Intel HD 3000 Graphisc on my motherboard (GIGABYTE Z68XP-UD4) as well so I could use 3 monitors, one being plugged into the HDMI port on the motherboard, the other two being plugged in on my GPU. I know I could buy another MiniDP active adapter but I hope I could just use the onboard graphics.

How do I enable it?

You can use three moreover four monitors with the HD6870. Why you need the HD3000?

No, it doesn't work. I would need an active MiniDP to DVI/HDMI adapter, I have the XFX model.

And where is the problem? With adapters you can use more monitors.

OK, changing the "Init Display First" to onboard helped, now everything is ok!

Thank you!

Sorry to bother you guys again, but since changing "Init Display First" and putting in a MacMini 5,1 SMBIOS, OS X only uses the Intel Graphics for OpenCL.

Any way to change this preference?

On which GPU is your desktop? If the desktop is on the HD3000, System Proferences/Displays/Arrangement, move the menu bar to the 6870 display. See if OpenCL runs on the 6870. No idea if the change is persistent on reboot.

But my main desktop is already on one of the 6870 displays, so that won't work.

Anybody got another suggestion?
