Hello, I am having problems with setting up my system to use two video cards within Linux. I know that every message forum on Linux has had this discussion before but I have not found anything that helps my situation. (yet)
I am running Mandrake 9.1 with XFree version 4.3.0 My ideo cards are as follows: S3 ViRGE [PCI:0:9:0] nVidia GeForce2 [PCI:1:0:0] My problem is as follows: I start my Xserver by typing "X -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new2" and both monitors act as if they are recieving data, the nVidia driver comes up on the correct monitor and they both procede to show a blue screen that usually pops up just before the login screen of Mandrake. There is the cursor in the first monitor (screen0 i believe) and I can move it between the two monitors just like i can in WinXP. However this is where it stops. My mouse and keyboard both work and I have to press ctrl-alt-backspace to get back into a command line. I will also include a log file which the only error that i can see is a failure to load GLX error. If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Geoff -- Geoff Petzold [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
