Deactivate one graphicdevice in a SLI system
- by NobbZ
As it is now, I have a Gaminglaptop with 2 GeForce 9800M GT with SLI activated, Ubuntu 12.04.
When I use any graphicdriver that is aware of acceleration features the system crashes after a short period of time.
After I removed and purged jockey my system runs stable but slowly, but I can use it for now (I have to choose recovery at startup and the resume boot, botting up normal results in a colorflickering screen).
But since the system is runs slowly, I would like to try to work with only one graphicdevice.
First test device A, if that doesn't work test with device B.
A testing tool for Windows already told me, that one of the cards doesn't work properly, but it doesn't say which one (same crashes in Windows when programs or desktop uses acceleration).
Therefore I wanted to ask, if there is a way to reinstall any nVidia (or third party) driver, deactivate one of the two devices and test the stability?
