Hi I'm running a SuSE-8.0 distribution, this means 2.4.18 Kernel and XFree 4.2.0. I have succeeded in running 4 Xserver from boot (3 started from xdm on vt07:0 [this has DRI-support on 16bpp], vt08:1[this has Overlay on 24bpp], vt09:2[this has none of DRI or Overlay on 32bpp]) and one script from init for a fourth Xserver starting xawtv on vt12:4 needing 16bpp) --- with a Matrox G400 16MB SH AGP graphic card. [Would be nice if you can use DRI and Overlay feature in one XServer without hang --- a wish for XFree86.5.* --- or running Overlay on :0 and DRI on :1 ?] It seems rather random which VT really takes the physical console --- it seems they are fighting for it :-). So I like to know how do a job (init or whatever priviliged script it needs) choose one specific vt?? for the physical console. BTW: A Matrox G450 16MB DH (DVI&analog) can't init DRI and I get the error message from the dri-modul: needs at least 22500 kB Memory for this resolution [1280x1024 with 16bpp] :( I think a Matrox-driver issue, in't it? [Can anybody confirm this observation?] Thanks in Advance achim -- Achim Flammenkamp Forschungsschwerp.
