Hi all, I am trying to start an X server with two screens on two VGA cards. Here they are: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@pcettmg01 root]# lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF 02:01.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 264VT [Mach64 VT] (rev 40) (see the output of lspci -vv at : http://cern.ch/tamas.hauer/X/lspci) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The interesing ( I think) part of XF86Config is below, (the whole thing is at: http://cern.ch/tamas.hauer/X/XF86Config.dual). For testing purposes, I define three layouts: Single, Second and Xine. These should start one screen on the first or the second monitor and the xinerama, respectively. Then I do: startx -- -xf86config XF86Config.dual -layout Single startx -- -xf86config XF86Config.dual -layout Second startx -- -xf86config XF86Config.dual -layout Xine The first two work as expected but the dual setup does not. In that case I get a single screen on my primary monitor (the one defined in Single) and nothing else. I would greatly appreciate any insight. The XFree logs are here: http://cern.ch/tamas.hauer/X/XFree86.0.log.Single http://cern.ch/tamas.hauer/X/XFree86.0.log.Second http://cern.ch/tamas.hauer/X/XFree86.0.log.Xine I tried various combinations of drivers (ati and vesa) for the two cards, no success Addendum: What drove me crazy just now is that this whole thing is not behaving consistently. Just before the latest reboot I experienced something different which I can no longer reproduce (same XF86Config file). The situation used to be then: Single works Second does not work: gives me an error of not finding the corresponding PCI Xine works in the following way: primary monitor is up, root screen is size 1600x600, I can move the mouse off the screen but the secondary monitor is blank Dual: (identical to Xine, but without the Xinerama "on"): hangs the machine Tamas XF86Config.dual: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "ati" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card1" Driver "vesa" VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc" BoardName "264VT [Mach64 VT]" BusID "PCI:2:1:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Card1" Monitor "Monitor1" DefaultDepth 16 SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Second" Screen 0 "Screen1" 0 0 InputDevice "DevInputMice" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Xine" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "DevInputMice" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" Option "Xinerama" "on" # Option "Clone" "off" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Single" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "DevInputMice" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tamás Hauer ETT Division, CERN, Geneve 23 Switzerland 1211 Tel: (+41)-22-767-0772, Fax: (+41)-22-767-8930 http://cern.ch/tamas.hauer _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
