That is me, sitting at my 6 head system in Linux. It is working thanks
to this mailing list.
So, I wonder if somebody can recommend improvements to my config file,
supplied below. F.ex. I would like to have 3d, even though it is not
accelerated. Perhaps Mesa?
The startup process is somewhat messy and buggy, with 2 boots and 4
startx every time. It is thus:
1. "startx"
Machine hangs, and must be rebooted with "ctrl+Alt+Del".
Error: "(EE) MGA(3): No valid modes found"
2. "startx"
X stops.
Error:
"(EE) MGA(3): MGAValidateMode from HALlib found the mode to be invalid.
Error: b1901020
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 3"
3. "startx"
X stops.
Error:
"(WW) MGA(5): Failed to set up write-combining range (0xdb800000,0x800000)
(EE) MGA(5): MGAValidateMode from HALlib found the mode to be invalid.
Error: b1901020
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 5"
4. "startx"
And X finally starts, and works as it should, stable.
