Hey all,

I've just installed 2.4.26. I have two graphics cards, each has a
monitor, my primary display is an old ATI (Rage 128), and the other
one is an NVidia GEforce 2. I have X installed and working with the
KDE desktop using the ATI card & it's monitor. I have not been able to
get the nvidia display to work yet.

I've emeged nvidia, and have the module loaded (it shows as being
'unused'). I've also edited the xorg.conf file so that it knows about
both displays.

In Linux before I've started X, the nvidia display is not active at
all, not sure if it would be used by linux before X starts or not.

Here's  a few relevent pieces of my xorg.conf file:


Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "** ATI Rage 128 based (generic)       [r128]"
    Monitor     "Envision"
    DefaultDepth 24

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 2"
    Device      "NVidia"
    Monitor     "NEC"
    DefaultDepth 24

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection


Can anyone help?

Thanks,

George Bingham
