Disable i810 Card?

[linuxevangelist]

I was wondering if it was possible to put in a more supported Video Card and disable the i810 Video Display. If so, how would I do it? Do I need to do it?

Linux would be my only OS.
I'm running an HP Pavillion.

If I put the PCI Video Card in, wouldn't Linux recognize it and use that instead of the i810?

Dell machines recognize when you put in a PCI video card, but I am not sure about HP's. If it doesn't automatically do it, you may need to do it in the BIOS.

Thanks, but I looked everywhere in the BIOS to do it. Is there a way to Physically Diable it?

just set Graphic memory in the BIOS setup to Disable. i disables it and used a S3 PCI card.

Typically when you put in a PCI card on most 810 boards it disables the onboard video, otherwise, there might be a jumper on the motherboard itself, or in bios if you have the option for Init Display set it to PCI...
