Linux AMD E-350 + discrete graphics

Vegitto · 2012-07-16 22:14

Hi everyone,

I have a E-350 Build that unfortunatly isnt able to play any DTS-HD material over hdmi since fglrx doesnt support that (yet). Since I have a GT520 lying arround here, I thought I d give it a try. Now I added the GT520 to my system but it wont get recognized, the APU's HD6310 still outputs video but I cant get the GT520 work.

Anyone else with a e350 and discrete nvidia gpu who could help me out? thanks in advance Smile

Did you check the BIOS settings?

EDIT:

I m using a Asus E35M1-Pro

This may be the relevant section of the User Manual regarding BIOS settings for enabling your add-on graphics card:

2.5.4 NB Configuration
IGFX Multi-Monitor [Disabled]
Enables or disables Internal Graphics Device Multi-Monitor Support for add-on VGA devices.
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
Primary Video Device [PCIE Video]
This item is user-configurable only when the IGFX Multi-Monitor item is set to [Disabled]
and allows you to set the default video output device.
Configuration options: [IGFX Video] [PCIE Video]
Integrated Graphics [Auto]
Enables or disables the integrated graphics. Configuration options: [Auto] [Force]

Turns out I already had the proper BIOS Settings..... I looked at the log files and saw that it cant load the nvidia driver and therefore continues to use the Radeon Card..... I think I may have messed up my system since I was probing around with Radeon drivers trying to get it to play all my stuff,

Maybe I should reinstall the OS ?

Before you reinstall the system try Openelec from usb to see if you can get it to work with that.

I tried openelec, it still didnt work. I suspect the card might be broken. I ll try it in another computer and see if it works there....

Ok the card was broken and i got a replacement. Video works fine so far but i m not getting any audio signals now. Followed all the HOWTOs i could find but nothing seems to work. Anyone else with a similar build (E350 + GT520) ?
