Disable VGA on motherboard ?
Good Morning IA64 Fans:
Has anyone successfully turned off the motherboard VGA graphics system and used a plug in video board ? I have set the BIOS setup option to "Absent" for on-board VGA, but it continues to be used. This is a server version of the SDV.

We've done this with the Lion without any problems. We didn't need to configure anything in the BIOS either.
I do think you need to place the video card in a specific set of slots. I'll check on that.

Thanks for the idea JE. This was the problem, the video card has to be in slot one nearest the existing video connectors. It just works when placed there, no BIOS adjustment needed.

Yes, you need to put the video card in the PCI bus 0 and they are marked (lowest slot #).
Thanks,
