Hello Xperts,

I am trying to setup a configuration with multiple VGA cards, each
handled by an independent copy of XFree, so as to enable multiple
local users of Linux. I've seen the page
http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser/
and tried the patches.

I have succeeded partially. The biggest problems now are:
- switching to a text console (on the primary server) hangs the
machine
- vmware hangs the machine when switching to fullscreen

And when I say hang, I mean total, complete hang requiring the Big
Red Button (well, it's blue in my case...).

It seems that the multiple VGA cards are not completely separated in
the X servers - I've seen I/O access on ports 0x3B0 etc... Is there
any progress in this field? Is this being worked on? Is there any
relevant information available that I should know of?

The cards that I use are nvidia TNT2's, five of them on one PCI bus.
(And a VANTA on AGP, but I'd be willing to throw that out if the
different bus is a problem.)

Thanks for any information!
