Hmm, I thought by the resoltuions that it was an old laptop...

On a lot of modern motherboards (which if it has a Sandy Bridge, it is), they usually automatically disable the onboard video when a PCI or PCIE video is installed...

Yours is not disabled. Older boards had a jumper to disable the onboard video... Since you didn't mention the Sandy Bridge, I figure you thought is was diabled and not being used.

It looks like (at least with the utilities) that it thinks the primary is still the Sandy Bridge... and with other current issues with "Sandy Bridge," maybe you should look at disabling that to take it out of the picture.

All the data you gave me is going to "change" once you do that, Afterwards, post "hwinfo --framebuffer " again.
