hello, I use two monitors and graphic cards at one computer. the graphic cards are a elsa victory erazor and an creative blaster tnt2 vanta. xfree86 use the drivewr riva128 and nv1 and that was ok! but now I have black/colored menus and bars and fonts on my erazor! I came to the problem throug a kernelmodule, that adviced me, switching off the framebuffer. I did so and set my bootmanager option vga=normal. at least the screens are nec and philips ones. I will include some interessting logs from /var/log/XFree.o.log did anyone worked around this? thx sebastian /var/log/XFree86.0.log: (II) RIVA128(0): Initializing int10 (II) RIVA128(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000 (**) RIVA128(0): Depth 15, (--) framebuffer bpp 16 (==) RIVA128(0): RGB weight 555 (==) RIVA128(0): Default visual is TrueColor (II) Loading sub module "vgahw" (II) LoadModule: "vgahw" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a (II) Module vgahw: vendor="The XFree86 Project" compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 0.1.0 ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6 (==) RIVA128(0): Using HW cursor (--) RIVA128(0): Linear framebuffer at 0xD2000000 (--) RIVA128(0): MMIO registers at 0xD4000000 ...
