Hello, my computer is running 24/7. Normally there's nothing difficult to do for the graphics card so the built-in motherboard-graphics card is sufficient.
Sometimes I need some more graphics-power. In that case I'd like to turn on the PCIe graphics card, run a 2nd x-server on it and some power-consuming app (game) on that 2nd x-server. Finished with that app I want to stop the 2nd x-server and turn off the PCIe graphics card again. Running the PCIe graphics card (e.g. Radeon 4670) all the time would be a waste of energy and would make the fans run quicker and louder. Can I turn off (and on) a PCIe graphics card while the computer is running? If that's the wrong place to ask this, please point me to the right direction (perhaps the kernel-ML?). TIA Til PS: The computer is running Debian Lenny. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
