Before you start, check output of: /sbin/lspci to see is the second Nvidia 7600 adapter recognized. If it is not listed than there is BIOS or other hardware problem that prevents use of second Nvidia 7600 adapter. If lspci shows 4 adapters than try to go to YaST -- Hardware -- Display and see what it shows? The other place where I would look is /etc/X11/xorg.conf where you will be able to see 2 sets of entries, probably for 1 of video adapters. Making copy of present information for first 2 screens, section by section, and changing numbers from 0 and 1 to 2 and 3, and changing BusID (PCI bus ID) for second adapter should bring another 2 screens up, unless there are some limitations in X server. Below I listed what is different in sections that should exist for 4 monitors of the same kind connected to 2 adapters: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[0]" Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[1]" Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[2]" Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[3]" Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[0]" Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[1]" Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[2]" Section "Modes" Identifier "Modes[3]" Section "Screen" Device "Device[0]" Identifier "Screen[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" Section "Screen" Device "Device[1]" Identifier "Screen[1]" Monitor "Monitor[1]" Section "Screen" Device "Device[2]" Identifier "Screen[2]" Monitor "Monitor[2]" Section "Screen" Device "Device[3]" Identifier "Screen[3]" Monitor "Monitor[3]" Section "Device" BusID "1:0:0" Identifier "Device[0]" Section "Device" BusID "x:x:x" Identifier "Device[1]" Section "Device" BusID "x:x:x" Identifier "Device[2]" Section "Device" BusID "x:x:x" Identifier "Device[3]" The x:x:x you can pick up from command /sbin/lspci Edit: Section "ServerLayout" to add another 2 screens. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
