disable intel gpu in ubuntu 12.04
- by small_potato
I am wondering if there is anything to disable the intel gpu on ubuntu 12.04. I want to be able to setup dual monitor using nvidia-settings. It seems the intel gpu is used for display as suggested by
sudo lshw -c display
the output is

I have a lenovoY410 with GT750M. It seems there is no way to turn off the intel gpu in bios either. Help please. Thanks.
