Nvidia + Intel dual GPU

zcatav

Hi,
I want to install GhostBSD on an old Nvidia ion based netbook (Asus Eee PC 1215N). One of the graphics cards is Nvidia Ion GT-218. The second graphics card on it is an Intel integrated card using i915 driver. There is no possibility to select and/or disable the cards in bios or anywhere. Previously (4-5 years ago) the installation would fail with Nvidia and use the optional Intel card. Now when I try to install GhostBSD 25.01-R14.2p1 it tries Nvidia drivers and fails and stays in cli mode. Is it possible to make the installation try all possible cards or only use the Intel card?
Thanks in advance.

That would be a feature request since the GhostBSD installer, specifically Xconfig, currently lacks a manual GPU selection option to override BIOS limitations. Adding this feature could benefit older systems. To request it, submit a feature request here: ghostbsd/issuesissues/new?assignees=&labels=feature&template=feature_request.yaml

This user set up both intel and nvidia. Worth a review to your setup perhaps.
