6200s will run with the closed derivers, but why bother? They have no VDPAU features, are too slow for anything but very basic gaming. Generally horrid cards. Quote:
After checking around, it looks like the 6670 has a DVI-D port, not DVI-I. Doh. Too good a memory for my own good, I remembered the 6670 is just an updated 5670 (and they do have a DVI-I port). Stupid me, I should have checked that before I posted anything. If a HDMI-VGA adapter works, its likely a DVI-VGA adapter will as well. Quote:
If xorg knows about the card, you normally get an output with the model name, like this- Quote:
Do you know the manufacturer/model for your card? While I dont think it will help figure out if you can use VGA on the DVI or HDMI port, it could help. *edit- it might be possible to use both the onboard intel video and the AMD card, but not when you are running the closed source drivers. |
I cant tell you the card info from lspci since I am not at my Linux box right now, but I was contemplating installing the open source driver to see if that could fix some tearing that I have been experiencing recently. Any info on that matter will help, but this is just a side problem. However, since you said that I can use my on board graphics if I use the open source driver, I think that I will go ahead and install it. Any advice on how to get Slackware to use both cards?

Its only might be able to use both, and I wouldnt.
Start by checking your BIOS for the onboard video options. It can be a pain to find, with various different names. If you know the motherbaord model I should be able to figure out if the option exists and where it is. What you are looking for is a way to set the onboard video 1st. Do not set this now. If you have a way to make the onbaord initialise 1st, then you will need to remove the ATI/AMD closed source drivers. Only then can you reboot, go back into the BIOS and set the system to initialise the onbaord video 1st. BTW, if I am right and your 6670 (or intel HD video for that matter) is newer than your xorg version you could have all sorts of odd issues with the open source drivers. |
