video card help? - GoFuckYourself.com

Anybody know how to enable the onboard video on a Sony Vaio desktop when you also have an AGP video card installed?

01-23-2004, 09:55 PM

What happens when you enable it in the bios? Does the AGP card quit working?

shit i cant even get to the bios

when i put in the agp card it disabled the onboard video, but i want to re-enable it for my dual monitors

I'm pretty sure w/ the motherboard you are unforunately looking at one or the other.

Espically since you put in the card and it automatically disabled the onboard in the bios.

:/

Disable the AGP card in the Device Manager and reboot...

you can't use both at the same time, you have to get a card with 2 inputs... if it has a DVI input, get an adapter for 2nd monitor

That pretty much sums up your options..

or possibly a AGP card and PCI card.. but never seen/tried that so I am not sure about possible conflicts or anything..

2 video outs is the best option!

And when it comes to the bios, try just hitting keys until you get a "keyboard error" or whatever it is that comes up and says press any key to continue.. then hit DEL or F2, depending on your system and presto! .. the bios ..

you mean the white plug thats next to the s-video, next to the blue plug?

nvidia geforce Ti-4200 is the card i have

damn where would i get an adapter at 9:10pm

Ya might have to buy a cheap PCI card to use with your AGP card.

Or you could always get a new AGP card that would do the trick all by itself, and probably be a hell of a lot easier to setup.

(edit - sounds like the card you have might do it)
