Hello Heiko, which IGEL OS version are you using?

Did you checked if there is maybe a Bios Setting to move fixed to one GPU?


11.05.100, no option to disable a gpu in bios


Did used the Display switcher?

How To Configure Displays in IGEL OS – Video


ich check the video, thanks.

We use the display switcher, external monitor just dont be show yet.. workaround seems to be: x.drivers.nvidia.disable yes for now… tahnk you.


Try this… on 11.05.120

Set the IGEL registry key x.drivers.preferred_driver to nvidia and x.drivers.nvidia.use_modeset to enabled then the onboard graphics ports as well as the ports of the Nvidia card can be used. Which is the recommended mode since everything is rendered on the Nvidia GPU.
