I have installed Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 to a hard drive. I have two screens configured. When I boot off of the hard drive, X windows starts on both of my screens EVERY time (using startx). I now configure my client to boot from the network. I "rsync" the hard drive image over to my server and boot the same image over the network and NFS mount my file systems. Once at the login prompt I run startx and more than half the time startx locks up my system - the screen goes black and the server never starts. I cant even ssh into the client - I am dead. If I configure xorg.conf for one screen it starts every time when booting across the network. This appears to be a resource problem when booting Linux across the network and trying to start 2 screens. Are there any known bugs with XFree86 and two screens or XFree86 an NFS. My graphics cards are an ATI Rage XL. My workstation is an HP ML370.
I have spent weeks on this problem and I really need some help.
"Known bugs with XFree86" are not responsible for this issue because you are not using XFree86. Contact X.Org instead.
