How do i run cgminer and use onboard graphic as display?

I got this when i tried to run cgminer with my onboard graphic as display.

Also how can i change core, mem speed, core voltage, fan speed? afterburner, trixx dont detect my card. It tried --gpu-fan 50 --gpu-engine 1060 --gpu-memclock 1500 but there is no change in my hash or the gpu fan doesnt sound louder indicating the change in fan speed.

First question, what make and model is the inbuilt card ?

and ill bet it aint a good one for mining....

i am using 7970 to mine and i got an onboard intel hd4000 so i want to mine while still using my pc.

First thing I would suggest is updating to a current version of cgminer.  But if its working for you, then go ahead.

Secondly, you can use a -d argument to specify which gpu to use (I believe, dont use it myself).  But default cgminer will use all devices it can find, this way can special -d 1 for example if you want to use gpu 1 instead of gpu 0.

Thirdly, you can set all of your gpu engine, fan, temp cut off, etc, just by using the arguments laid out on the cgminer page (whether it be command line, or conf file) located here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.0

thanks you, somehow i manage to get it running by using "-d 0 --gpu-platform 1"

However, i dont see the GPU temp and fan speed in cgminer, it was blank. Also i tried  "--gpu-fan 50 --gpu-engine 1060 --gpu-memclock 1500"  (which was my optimal setting for mining) but there is no change in hash. So i think those command dont work. Afterburner and trix cant too.

anyone did it before?

[Zanatos666]

Sorry, cant help you.  My suggestion is post on the cgminer's thread and either kovilas or kano or someone else will know what to do.

Same exact problem as you. Finally got my radeon  card to work but can't see temperature or fan speed.
Did you ever manage to resolve this?

First off, you need to use a recent version of cgminer.  3.1.1 is probably bare minimum.  3.7.2 I think is the last ones to support GPU mining.

Second, you need to remove the OpenCL driver from the Intel GPU.  There's an option in Add/Remove Programs that allow you to uninstall the Intel OpenCL.

Once you've done that, cgminer won't detect the Intel HD4000 as being capable of mining, and ignore it totally.


It does work, I've mined that way in the past (HD4000 for desktop work with 2x7950 and a 7850 mining in the background).
