Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to force the OpenSUSE 13.1 install I'm using to only use the integrated graphics and leave alone the discrete PCIe graphics adapter (that one is reserved for a KVM guest). The primary GPU in BIOS is set to the PCIe GPU as setting it onboard has issues for the KVM guest.
The output of hwinfo --gfxcard is
Looking at Hardware Information using YaST under the heading "Display" I find both devices with "Drivers > Active" shown as "No" for the AMD GPU and "Yes" for the Intel one. The radeon module is blacklisted and the AMD GPU is bound to vfio-pci so it shouldn't be used.
So with above I don't understand why the GUI is being output as 640x480 through the discrete VGA card and nothing through the integrated graphics (there is a signal according to my monitor but the screen is black). I don't mind that GRUB output is routed to the PCIe graphics but I want to ensure that after booting the OpenSUSE install the discrete PCIe graphics are no longer used at all. So basically I guess it would be enforcing #10 rather than #20 as Primary display adapter but I haven't been able to figure out how.
I've done research both here on the forum and out there as well but the majority of information I find deals with either multi-monitor setups or the opposite of my case (forcing discrete graphics). Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
