I guess that kind of setup is rare. > I have tried to find out where the problem is, but I am not a dri > developer and it was ... hard.

I'd start by tracing driParseConfigFiles() to make sure it really only parses options for the specified screen/driver. I'm Cc'ing Felix Kühling, who wrote the driconf code and might be able to give more hints. For your reference Felix, the bug report mentioned above is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10132 . > I am not sure if I am right but it seems that drivers get theirs > options from xorg.conf and then form drirc file.
