Morning all, got a bit of a sticky problem with some supermicro boards and graphics going on.
We've got a X11SSZ-QF and a C7Z97-MF which are using in some animal imaging systems we're developing. When these systems were initially built out (including #1 which was based around a Asus board and which we have relatively easy physical access to), they included GTX 970s as we were using CUDA for some image processing. As it happens, we had some thread safety issues with a library we are using's CUDA methods so we've reverted to just doing it multithreaded on the CPU (i7-4790K, i7-6700K respectively) which gives adequate performance and a lot lower power/thermal requirements.
Since removing the discrete GPU from the boxes and re-enabling the integrated intel GPU in the BIOS I've now got the problem that our OpenGL-requiring software is not showing anything on the display (via teamviewer or iKVM) as the only "connected" display is the ASpeed BMC which doesn't support OpenGL. This makes debugging issues very hard as we cannot view what the 3D camera sees "live" on the remote box but instead have to make a recording, copy it to a local machine and run it there.
Is there a way to force usage of the Intel graphics adapter in the teamviewer session (or the iKVM session for that matter)? Only the "generic display" connected to the Aspeed BMC is showing in the Win7 display properties.
edit: just tried changing the default adapter in the bios to IGFX which broke iKVM access and made the teamviewer display a horrible pixellated unreadable mess. Thank god for the text console in IPMIview for the ability to change it back!
