According to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...name=c00007413
disabling the onboard graphics, is just a matter of starting the bios setup
program, selecting advanced, select Primary video adapter, and then pci.

Can't help with that part. I'm using an ati 9200se, but with just the crt
connected.

Thanks for the feedback David found a link to look for dkms-ati so will
check that out.

According to http://www.intel.com/support/graphic.../CS-003807.htm
and another source changing the bios setting to PCI just changes the
priority, integrated AGP is still enabled as secondary. In windoz it can
be disabled in software by unselecting it from the hardware profile in the
device manager. In Mandriva I just didn't configure the 810 video head,
figured that was about the same.
