First time that something easy like this is tripping me up.....
I'm building a new system using Etch as the OS. I installed Etch on my SATA
drive (no problem) using the on board video that came with my ASUS M2MPV-VM
motherboard. The on-board video is GeForce 6150. System is running well.
Now, I want to upgrade the video, so I plugged a GeForce 8600 GT video adaptor
(PCIe 16) into my motherboard (ASUS M2MPV VM), went into the bios (phoenix)
and changed the primary display adaptor to PCIe. When the system boots,
there is no output on the video of the PCIe card--all output still goes to
the on-board video. I thought that one change would send output to the PCIe
card. Can anyone tell me what additional steps I need to take to get video
to output to the PCIe adaptor?
Many thanks,
Mark

Is there a setting to explicitly disable the on-board video as opposed to
just telling it the external is primary?

No. (That would have been too easy.) I wish there was one.

True, but sometimes it is the super easy that is also super easy to
overlook. Best to ask just to make sure than to go for the harder solutions
and miss it thrice over.

Stupid question: did you remember to save the new BIOS setting?

Yes. And I confirmed that the settings are saved. (Its not a stupid question.
There aren't any stupid questions!!!)

If a chicken-and-a-half lays an egg-and-a-half in a day-and-a-half how
long does it take a man with one wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a dill
pickle?

Or, a well-educated not-recovering-from brain-injury adult asking
how many states/provinces there are in his home country.
