    Is there a way to use Acer 5920G without any MXM card?

    I tried a modded Bios which had incorporated a toggle Internal Display AUTO / BOTH but didnt worked.
    So Im not sure if its only bios related ( i need a proper different modded bios?) or it is hardware related ( maybe shortcutting or soldering on motherboard?) or both.?

    I only find Posts related to upgrading the Card or similar, but none talking about using only the internal built in GPU.

    Any help I would appreciate.
    Thanks JL

    I think 5920 use northbridge with integrated graphisc GM965 and 5920g use chipset without it; PM965, therefore it can't work without discrete card.
