Hi I guess this is a priliminary question really, just to make sure I don't waste anyones time.
I have an old compaq deskpro 590 which I use as a Linux server. I recently bought 2 cheap 8MB S3 video cards which I installed in the machine. (Both identical, on the supported list). These are plug and play cards, and when I install them the bios states that there may "confilict with each other, is this a problem?" This is in terms of the lower dos memory ranges. However in Linux the scanpci seems to indicate that the cards are recognised as separate resources. Additionally I can configure either card to work individually with either card, but not together under X. Trying to configure the second card causes the entire machine to hang, requiring a hard reboot. I guess before I loose another couple of days on this, does anyone know if what I am doing is possible. I.e would I need a newer machine with a plug and play bios to configure these cards on to separate resources, or is the bios a red herring. I can provide more info if needed, thank you in advance for your help.
