Afaik i don't think that it is possible to 'remove' (even logicaly with some strap or switch) the builtin gfx. Anyway, it is possible to change the default monitor to 'graphics1' (as afaik here the pdc would recognise the additional gfx) with help of COnfiguration submenu at bootprompt. (may be MO cmd would help to get more accurate info?) Or (into linux system) should it be also possible to create a /dev/fb1 (MAKEDEV iirc) and change with fbset the default fb device to fb1? > > >>if so where can i get the information to do this as i am not having much luck >>finding any documentation.
