Hi: I cannot get X to use simultaneously two graphics cards. The following details my problem. I've decided to put my files on my web site; I hope you find this more convenient than attachments. I'm running Red Hat Enterprise WS v3 on dual Pentium III and dual Opteron 246 computers. I have two nVidia graphics cards---one is single head AGP (GeForce2) and the other is dual head PCI (GeForce FX 5000). When both cards are installed in either computer, I can get the cards to work one at a time but not both at the same time. (I have installed the latest drivers from the nVidia web site.) Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? My three monitor are identical Dell CRTs. I have no problems simutaneously using the three monitors under Windows. Here is the config file that I think should give me three screens, two "twinview" from the PCI card and one regular X from the AGP card. Also, I am attaching the log file. Can you tell me why it does not work? 1) My XF86config file: http://lcb1.uoregon.edu/wtj/s/linux/post/xf86config/XF86Config.PCI.AGP.twinview.screens.and.one.X.screen 2) The associated log file: http://lcb1.uoregon.edu/wtj/s/linux/post/xf86config/XF86Config.PCI.AGP.twinview.screens.and.one.X.screen.log_file Here is the config file that I think should give me three distinct X screens. It, too, does not work. Any ideas why? I presume the error here is the same one from above. 3) My XF86config file: http://lcb1.uoregon.edu/wtj/s/linux/post/xf86config/XF86Config.PCI.AGP.three.X.screens 4) The associated log file: http://lcb1.uoregon.edu/wtj/s/linux/post/xf86config/XF86Config.PCI.AGP.three.X.screens.log_file For reference purposes, I'm including several other config files that work as I expected: 5) Output from lspci: http://lcb1.uoregon.edu/wtj/s/linux/post/xf86config/lspci.txt 6) "twinview" on the dual-head card http://lcb1.uoregon.edu/wtj/s/linux/post/xf86config/XF86Config.PCI.twinview 7) Two X screens on the dual-head card http://lcb1.uoregon.edu/wtj/s/linux/post/xf86config/XF86Config.PCI.dual.X.screens 8) Single X screen on the dual-head card http://lcb1.uoregon.edu/wtj/s/linux/post/xf86config/XF86Config.PCI.single.X.screen 9) Single X screen on the single-head card http://lcb1.uoregon.edu/wtj/s/linux/post/xf86config/XF86Config.AGP.single.X.screen I should note that lspci says that the address for my PCI card is 00:12.0. However, when I try that in X (either busid=00:12.0 or busid=0:12:0), the server will not start. In this case, I get an nVidia warning that there is "no matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:18:0) found". Thus, I use busid=0:18:0 in the config files (numbered 6-8 above) and it works. Thanks in advance!!! _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
