Can someone who has one of the motherboards here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155 which supports using Intel's built-in GPU, and a dedicated GPU card like Nvidia, test? That is, to see if using multiple video adapters simultaneously works in Fedora 17? Please. PS. My specs right now are: MSI H67MA-E45 (B3) H67 mATX LGA1155 DDR3 PCI-E16 3PCI-E HDMI DVI Audio GBLAN SATA3 Motherboard Intel Core i3 2100 Dual Core Hyperthreading Processor LGA1155 3.1GHZ Sandy Bridge 3MB MSI GeForce GT 520 810MHZ 1024MB 1GB DDR3 PCI-E VGA DVI HDMI HDCP Video Card On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 4:27 PM, Adam Williamson <awilliam@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Sun, 2012-06-10 at 23:16 -0700, Malcolm Turmel wrote: > > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155 > > > > The above article lists all the LGA 1155 motherboards which "Allows > > using built-in GPU" also known as Integrated GPU / iGPU.
