Would setting my BIOS to use the integrated GPU as the primary adapter do what I want?
Yep.
Fancy. Thanks.  Smiley

ETA: Oh -- I'm guessing I'll have to plug my KVM video adapter into the integrated's video output?
Well, you need to see what's on intergrated gpu display, right?  Smiley
I guess.  Tongue

Thanks again.  Smiley

The first is by definition not flawed.
similar thing here.

finding the right bios setup was key.

 Of course! I use integrated HD4250 (primary display) + 5770. Working without any problems. Even playing skyrim without losing any hashes on 5770.

(apologies if wrong forum -- descriptions are pretty vague)

No point using potential hash power of a mining card when there're integrated graphics. Is it possible to force Windows (or through BIOS?) to display on a monitor using only the integrated graphics so the dedicated graphics cards can... you know.... dedicate themselves to mining?

Would this be theoretically possible if an easy-to-implement solution doesn't already exist?


Cheers.
