[Xpert]Dual monitor support with Elsa Gladiac 511 Twin

[VisoTech - Johannes Püller]

Hi,

 

I am using Xfree86 4x with an Elsa Gladiac 511 Twin graphics adapter. This card has two VGA outputs. Of course I would like to use two monitors now, but I stumbled into some configuration problems. In the documentation I found out, that the BusID is mandatory in such a setting. What I tried now is to start the XServer with the -scanpci option and not surprisingly it found the following:

"(1:0:0) unknown card (0x1048/0x0c65) using a Nvidia GeForce2 MX"

 

So I put the following in the configuration file in the graphics device section:

----------------------

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA 1"
Screen 0

BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Driver "nv"
Option "DPMS" "on"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA 2"
Screen 1

BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Driver "nv"
Option "DPMS" "on"
EndSection
----------------------

 

When I tried to start the XServer now, I got an error message, telling me that the device I am trying to use is already in use. So I guess I have to use another BusID for the second entry, but I have not got no other BusID?

 

Any ideas?
