According to the log file (attached) that does indeed seem to take care of the "No matching device section" for the second video card - it now identifies both cards with their appropriate device setions. However, there is now a different problem. If you look at the log file, there are two errors, "Cannot read V_BIOS" for the second display adapter, and X eventually hangs with multiple notifications of "SMI_GEReset called from smi_accel.c line xxx" (xxx being several different line numbers), shown at the end of the log file. Any idea what is happening? Best regards Rick ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
