pci-e card + Onboard video = dual graphics?

[PmDematagoda]

jeremygjohn, you maybe new to the forum but please try and understand that creating duplicate threads(triplicate in your case) is not allowed since it just makes a mess of everything. Also please understand that you are only allowed one bump within 24 hours.

bapoumba:- I merged the three threads together.

Would adding the onboard video device into xorg and making a monitor section using that device enable my secound monitor with onboard and my other monitor on 8600GT?

Hi and you may try and use this command

gksu displayconfig-gtk

then use this to change and detect your graphics. It will make adjustments to your xorg so it will make it easier.

I have a spare system that I was trying to configure the two graphics on and I will attempt again but I do work nights and have other things to do. The bumping is ok just do it once a day as this subforum does not move as fast as say Beginners.
Edit typo on the command

ok thank you for trying to help if i cant get this to work in like a week ill be able to connect both to video card because my converter will arrive but i still want to try this until then.

gksu displaycofig-gtk does nothing?

Hi and are you asking "how to" in windows?

[jeremygjohn]

nvm what i want to find out is is it possible to get a desktop background to fill both screens but i mean is does not repeat it continues onto the secound one? would it have to be a huge resolution? i have a 2560x1200 and it stops have way on my smaller screen?

[jeremygjohn]
