Kiosk config that selects a video card?

Here you can post about the issues related to modifications performed manually (not through the kiosk wizard). Example: swapped kernel, added 3rd party modules or files.
Please describe in detail what has been changed and hopefully other kiosk user will be able to help.
Porteus team wont resolve bugs posted in this category as we support only modifications made by the kiosk wizard.

Kiosk config that selects a video card?

Post#1 by ajames » 16 May 2017, 21:30

I have a Dell M6600 that has a messed up AMD video card. It also has a working video output from the motherboard. Is there any way to configure a kiosk to run off the lesser video card? I am considering opening the laptop and removing the AMD video card, but this could save me hours of work.

Hello ajames,

Can you disable faulty GPU in the BIOS/EFI firmware settings (or at least set GPU priority there)? If not then perhaps a custom build would be necessary to blacklist the driver for this card.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
