Hello,
I've used XFree86 since 3.2 or so, and since the 4.0 prereleases started
coming out I've taken full advantage of the multihead features, always
with Matrox cards. Up until 4.1, I had 3 identical Matrox Millenium I's
playing happily:
Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Display controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2064W [Millennium] (rev 1).
IRQ 7.
Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2064W [Millennium] (#2) (rev
1).
IRQ 5.
Bus 0, device 15, function 0:
Display controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA 2064W [Millennium] (#3) (rev 1).
IRQ 5.
With the configuration found attached, XF86config.orig
Since upgrading to 4.1, I cannot start in multiheaded mode of any kind,
and barely starts in Single headed mode, and only then on my lone multisync
monitor, attached to the 'primary' card (the one with vga enabled).
I tried generating a new layout with X -configure, then substituting new
monitor definitions, as it didn't seem to figure those out. I also modified
the Device and Screen sections as needed, resulting in the attached XF86Config
file. with this configuration, too, I cannot startx. When I startx,
not only does XFree fail to load, it locks up the machine entirely! I have
to reboot it at that point. It has done so with the following kernels:
2.2.19
2.4.12-ac3+rik van riel's VM patches
I've been reading the list for a week or so, and browsed through the archives
since 4.1 was released, and haven't noticed anyone else with a problem of this
type. Can anyone shed any light on the subject? OH, when it fails in the manner
described above it also fails to leave a new XFree86.0.log in /var/log,
so I am unable to include one. :( This only makes it harder to figure out,
of course. Thanks for any help you can provide,
Nate Smith
