Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.3+10
Severity: important
the -isolatedevice option now always fails with:
Fatal server error:
Bus types other than PCI not yet isolable
No matter what BusID you specify. This means that multiseat (>1
screen/mouse/keybrd/videocard/xserver) now is impossible.
This happened a while back for the first time. In February 2008 my 2nd PCI
videocard failed so that was the end of my 2-seater.
I got the error message for the first time after a Sid dist-upgrade with
just the APG card on August 4th 2008. But at that time it did not matter.
Just now, however, I finally got additionally a GeForce 6200 PCI card and it
turns out -isolatedevice *always* gives an error.
It does not fail with xorg 1:7.2-5 with which I am running now. But that
means that only Etch still gives a functional multiseat.
The hardware looks like this:
00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200]
(rev a1)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000
AGP 8x] (rev c1)
and the pieces in xorg.conf:
Identifier "nvidia0"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
...
Identifier "nvidia1"
BusID "PCI:0:8:0"
and the pieces in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf:
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
command=/usr/bin/X1 :0 -layout X1 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice
\"PCI:1:0:0\" vt7
...
[server-2nd]
name=2nd server
command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice
\"PCI:0:8:0\" -sharevts
The latter 2 commands cause the error.
Thanks

Julien Cristau had the answer: don't put the -isolatedevice parms within
double quotes.
So it should be:
command=/usr/bin/X1 :0 -layout X1 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice
PCI:1:0:0 vt7
and
command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice
PCI:0:8:0 -sharevts
That works like a charm! Want to have a ride on my 2-seater?
