Disabling Beige G3 Internal Video Card

[nyteschayde]

I have a beige powermac g3 that has been upgraded to include a pci usb card, a radeon 7000 pci mac edition and a 400 mhz g4 zif processor.

Obviously the radeon is supported under OS X ( I am running 10.2.6) and works fine. Is there a way to disable either through software or a setting somewhere the internal ATI RageII+ video card so that the OS only sees the Radeon?

I am getting problems with the mouse moving to the second monitor that isn't hooked up. I tried moving the monitor out of the way in the display preferences but I really just want to disable the internal card.

Please let me know of any options that people might know about.

I don't know how to disable the video card, but to stop the mouse going to the other monitor when you don't want it too, just set the monitor to Mirror mode.

I cant set it to mirror mode as doing so will cause the acceleration to not happen. For example when mirroring the window refresh, graphical capability and 2D/3D acceleration defaults to lowest common denominator therefore a definite no no.
