[ivtv-devel] [ Dual View ] Starting X on PVR 350 and nVidia graphics card

Tue, 14 Dec 2004 20:05:12 -0800 

Hello;

I'm trying to start X in dualview on the tv-out of my PVR 350 and on my nVidia Geforce 2 grapicscard. But i'm a little bit confused about this error message

It's confusing me because i HAVE specified the BusIDs for the nVidia and the PVR 350 card.

Relevant parts of my XF86Config:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If i configure the ServerLayout section to start X only on one screen, e.g. Screen[0] or TV-out, everything works o.k. With single screen X starts on the tv out of PVR 350 and also on nVidia card. So i assume that configuration of device, monitor and screen sections will be o.k. Especially BusIDs should be correct (no hex/dec mismatch or something else). But X will not start if i try to use both screens.

Any suggestions?

Maybe also usefull, my lspci output:
